couple months ago

It does not behoove slaves to reason about freedom,
or bow down and pray for their god's eternal kingdom.
They used to sing of the sweet chariot swinging low,
but now they suffer from post-traumatic stress syndrome.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau sowed it, now it's time to reap it,
break our bread and remember the struggle to remain awake,
that it doesn't behoove slaves from reasoning about chains
either-- it's time to shake this, import fists,
time to join the hope and let this saga unrip.
