Scatter Harm Hatters
Remain receptive and objective
Though environment spins crazy
Twisting and insisting subjective
Attempting to drive away Daisy
To coerce you to surrender
To wills and seals bent
On nurturing and culturing agenda
You feel reel Hell sent
Messages within passages manipulated
Slanted, blunted, hunted and diluted
In intermediate steps undulated
Serrated, berated, denigrated and rated
To dilute the image stalkers select
Within the ambit of malice
Meant to influence ambiences that elect
To incite sites so prone to demeaning Alice
Toppled from the pedestal in your soft centre
Where they feel Alice shouldn’t belong
Since in their view Alice shouldn't enter
Your heart in whole or in part cos they long
To coerce your heart to turn in favour of Iggy
Whom they believe meets fleets of their requirements better
Than Maggie, Peggy or Twiggy
From whom they’d received or sieved a warm love letter
Which in their assessment
Means a lot more than a quote
In your alcove and in your basement
Whether you float or gloat
Over a perceived weave of conquest
When your best vest vanquishes the rest
In heading hunting when your quest and request
Meets with success in your valley and in your crest
To attest you don’t joke or poke
Fun in meaningful matters in tuxedos or tatters
As you feel the deal of your coke
Flatters fiends and scatters harm hatters
As you discover wisdom
Beyond covers of the Bible
To free captives and natives from the thiefdom
You finally prove horrible and terrible.
