Subliminal Kind
Subliminal Kind
-Follow These Orders-
1.) Chew gum and walk
2.) Do what they said
3.) Say prayers at night
4.) Religion is dead. Keep it from your head
5.) Eat crackers in bed
---- I know your kind---- But never mind----
---- Sublime incongruities rise---- Follow these orders or die
The Response
There must be something more within existence
Something more than simple cause but I forget
1.) Chewing gum and walking are so complicated
2.) I can’t remember what they said, so I can’t do what they said
3.) What if I say prayers in day light? Will I be struck by lightning?
4.) If religion is dead, should I pray, again, for lightning?
5.) I have no bed. I have no crackers or gum. Maybe some other time I’ll follow orders given from above.
Only five rules, only five commandments.
I should follow them to the grave.
If only I had something to be saved
