On ZigguRats

Running around
this way and that.

Think your free
but really your trapped
down here in this ZigguRat.
Watch out here comes the Cheshire Cat
he's not your friend just another rat.

Think your trapped
but really your free.
Think we're polite
but really we're uncaring.
Think we're cool
but really we're not.
Keep thinking like that and you'll
get the chop.

Got no money.
Got no pockets.
Sniffing around for food.
The constant hunger
for just a bite.
I follow the trail
but to where.
Snap!
Caught in a trap.
The politician on TV says,
"Cop that u dirty Rat!"
Life fades to black.
One last twitch,
life's such a bitch.

Give keys.
Hsilyng.
I'm smilng.
Own a ship.
I'm looking to sail it
to the Moon
but like all pirates
I only gots me
one right eye.

Sometimes focused on the Sea.
Sometimes focused on the Sky.

Here I sit
like a Rat in a maze
waiting for the vultures to come
and sap my inspiration away
while giving me little
bits of
in
fo
to
play with
my mind
big time.

Don't lean on me.
Don't sneeze on me.
Why do I feel cold?
...don't worry now we are here to help...
...no need to struggle...
...we will cut the problem area out...
...you will feel no pain...
...just go back to sleep...
...again...
Fix me.
Don't let them near me.
...it'll be over soon...
...just you see...
...all you have to do...
...is believe in me...

I wish those initials were mine.
The L and the V
that make lot's of money.
A sign of the times.
Two letters combined.
A sign with no sign.
An everywhere sign
of empty and imprisoned minds.
Unless ofcourse
you think it looks nice.
At best
it's not my colour.
Ad infinitum.
inert
void
Devoured by the masses.
Promote nothingness.

It's what we really need right now
don't have a cow!
