Saftey Net
If you can’t kill them with kindness, then force feed them food
If they can’t see past your blindness, then they aren’t any good
Please remember dear child their opinion’s carry weight
And permissions are granted, if they have lost all the hate
Fortunes of gold are often lost or misplaced
Because thieves are forgetful when their running away
Our waste pits that make us cringe from disgust
Are creating some geniuses that you still will not trust
The world is your safe house, your private refuge
But it is really awful when it is being misused
I will speak of the geniuses for a moment if I may
This land is their heritage, and they will own it some day
So remember the rules you learned while in your youth
And if your gonna be mean please don’t be uncouth
And if you decide implementation your thing
Never forget the corpse you must bring
Prove its been done and finally worked
And welcome to the life of the really berserk
The world is your safe house, your private refuge
But it is really awful when its being misused
And of the gold that's been lost or misplaced
The thief will keep looking unless the memories erased
Its something to think about while in their cage
It occupies the mind and quells the rage
Perhaps your aware then of the crimes we commit
How we stifle the errors and find posts we can hit
So along your route in your quest for a life
Find you a haven with minimal strife
The world is your safe house, your private refuge
But its really awful if its being misused
Please keep in mind that you cant feed the dead
So remember your training and don’t lose your head
Gather your tools, and all the skill that you need
Then distance yourself from those filled with greed
Hold out your hand to the net runner up
Be gracious and kind but never give up
And the last adage before I sign my name
Make sure if you win you read the rules to the game
