Boots to Polish

I see you standing there with your frozen, vacant stare

A robot in the making, a consciousness never waking

And you're fine with that? In line to get fat;

Sorry if I'm not.

Actually, I'm done apologizing

Happily, I'm visualizing / a better right now

A header, low-brow

Indebted, I bow (to you)

My words are making strides, gently dissatisfied

Reaching all the way inside, longing to lessen pride

Praise humility

Display tranquility

Stand back and be amazed.

Learn, explore, invent, create

Yearn for more, upset the hate

Contemplate and concentrate; be here now to advocate / peace

Not war, at least; not more police

Maybe the world's masterpiece

Let's go faster East

Fire the pastor, priest

Are you content with where you're at?

Will you just let the bureaucrat / make money off your labor

It's funny, they're the slavers

And we're in slavery, mentally

I thought this unsavory penalty / had long been abolished

Yet I'm here with boots to polish, feeling smallish

But I'm not worried 'cause I know I'm just as big

As these wigs with their rigs

Only I won't need oil to do it

Because I need soil to do it / right

I need peace in order to fight

I'm here to nonviolently ignite

An intellectual revolution, the methodical dissolution

Of class lines and confines and deadlines and stop signs

 

[Let's make this all up ourselves, as we go]

 

We're moving on up and we're making conclusions

On out of this rut, amending confusions / and filling in the cracks

Because hostility lacks what sensibility attracts

That is to say, the facts

And the fact is that war has never given us more

Than creative ways to kill each other.

The firm middle ground here is creativity

We're an innovative people, full of possibility

Skill and prowess, will and success

The thrill of progress

Be chill, no pills, just say yes

To fun spontaneity you normally wouldn't

Get off of this deity, stop saying you shouldn't

Do new things you've never tried, never questioned

Are you in it for the ride? Maybe you'll be impressed when /

You end up loving it, you defend fan-clubbing it

You learn something new that becomes a part of you

Understand your sliver of the landscape

Reprimand your liver for it's bad shape

Be like, dude, I don't think we need to drink as much

Change the mood, this life necessitates a gentler touch /

And optimal nutrition, let's be done with competition

Love instead of ammunition, less-defining definition

Be done with pessimistic classifications, fatalistic devastations

Chase imaginations / down, in new directions we've found

Where happiness abounds

Never leave the playground
