please sign on the dotted line…

did you agree to speak the language of the land
and did you agree to grow up in a cul de sac
and whose fault was that anyway
because then you also didn’t agree to abide by the golden rule
but you did and who’s golden rule was that anyway

did you do as you were told
and if you didn’t what were the consequences
and whose consequences were they anyway
because fear was the motivator
and why were you so afraid

can you forgive those that poisoned you
and do you even realize you are poisoned
because marketeers want your allegiance
and conquerors want your patriotism
and why are you afraid to say no

conscription is subscription and visa versa
because if you play you pay and visa versa
and did you sign up for that
because you let the poison in
and those are things you agreed to

you let them twist your arm
because you assumed they were right
and their cult of personality overwhelmed you
and you took their criticism personal
and it transformed your own word into poison

so now you do not agree to love
and you do not agree to forgive
because you cannot break the cycle
because you are to afraid to try
because what if you are rejected and left alone

fascism dictates compliance and you have done your duty
because you cannot love yourself enough to love others
and you can’t say yes when you want to and no when you don’t
because your dream is lost in theirs
and transformation will exact a price you may not be willing to pay

if you are scared shitless, sign here: .....................
