A-Like Living

Make a play on stupidity
easily recognizable morbidity
call out and try to plead
beg and/or suffer and/or please

Let me be, or whatever it
may be, let them be
in blindness there's 
hearing, but if they
fail to listen and to see
let them be, or whatever 
it may be

Make a play on vulnerability
easily recognizable morbidity
call out a forewarning
shake and/or bow 
a head in mourning

Let them be, or whatever they
may be, let them be
in blindness there's 
hearing, but if they
fail to listen and to see
let them be, or whatever 
it may be
