What They Do

a painter wants to paint you
the chef will cook for you
a writer wants to write for you
a doctor wants to cure you

a performer will entertain you
the clergy wants to save you
a counselor will explain you
a politician wants to sway you

the traitor will ruin you
a pimp, to prostitute you
a sniper wants to shoot you
a bomber will explode you

adolescence will renounce you
a bouncer wants to bounce you
a lover wants to love you
a god, to be above you

scorpions will strike you
the viper wants to bite you
a jellyfish will sting you
a songbird will sing to you

that's what they know to do
