I.
Playing hard ball
rapacious gravity has its way with all
cares not that I gyrate
with clumsy aimless locomotion
that my life's water
screams through my boiling tempest teapot mind
to join the ocean
II.
Where is the king, tyrant or president
to veto this wrong and debasing judgement
wherein should such power lay
truly just democratic government
or assemblies heeding mumbo-jumbo,
believing hearsay
III.
Defer, avoid the settling of accounts
let tragedy and carnage mount
grab what you can
deal it toward your center
thinking you'll have a private
paradise to enter
IV.
Legislating, promulgating,
condoning patterning flaw
to what they call law I say pshaw
nothing like just order exists I say
till the never-coming judgement day
