Abandon Property, Dance Bravely!

Sleep only comes to the crocodile

when the villagers acknowledge that

it was he who banished their daughters

to the dark forests of convenience.

Sleep only comes to the crocodile

if the villagers remember
that he is the pursuit of
property, not happiness.

And when the crocodile sleeps,

the villagers will dance with the lions,

the lions that love, the lions that live,

the lions with hearts golden brave with

eyes staring into the deep dark deep

and grinning. The forests of convenience
will burn and the daughters of the village
rescued, and utopia will be theirs once more.

But there will be villagers who like crocs
better than lions, and they will whisper
"beware of dancing with the lions, they might
eat you," to which you say--"'hearts are bigger than teeth."
