The Four Horsemen

When told to tow the lines
In steno-scopic sight,
Rebellious of the signs
Fight for your right to fight.

Presented with the guff
That all shall be all-right,
Predictably it’s rough
Fight for your right to fight.

Narcissistically!

Opposability!

Demonstrability!

Vindicability!

Welcome to the kingdom
Where will is just a blight,
Just a severed symptom
Fight for your right to fight.

Septic it may happen
In day or maybe night,
Shy of what you reckon
Fight for your right to fight.

Narcissistically!

Opposability!

Demonstrability!

Vindicability!

Lorded over ever
I’ll see the victor’s height,
Falling to the never
Fight for my right to fight.

I’ll beckon and I’ll win
From darkish into white,
Embedded in my skin
The simple right to fight!

Vindicability!
