Headless
Listen to this voice of reason
With a reason not of treason,
Here for a season and reason,
Writhing for breathing,
Talking and walking,
Try and cry
With the voice of the unborn
Talking with blistering tongue
Administering with a ministering punch
If you get your stomach full,
Test in the laboratory
Get to the lavaratory
Flush in a flash.
Ministers go to hell and tell,
I am composed I oppose
Who are politicians to talk it and mock it
Abuse it and refuse it
Even if the temple was defiled,
File a fire case,
Sue for a sure case
Maybe with mini you prompted
And the feelings you promoted
So painful the ordeal.
Oh yes I remember
It was my teacher,
This is biology it plays with your psychology
Come my baby, don’t act a baby
Let me teach you and cheat you
After class fragile as glass
Caress you and care for you
On teacher you cheated me,
Lecturer you ruptured me
Tutor you taught me
To the doctor I will go report
He is softer than I thought
Don’t worry patient
You have no bill to bail?
Give me your blood for testing
So easy like dizzy
I admit my patient has patience
Injecting my syringe
Your rights not to infringe
If be a zygote I will uproot
Doctor you infected me,
With a zygote you planted in me
I have a professional stomach with me.
My child don’t question me
Your father don’t ask me
Take the court to me.
Give a sentence to me
I put on this coat
To give judgment in this court
You life has a tasteless cot
I give a sentence in a sentence
To jail with no bail
I prescribe and describe
This jail is not a sail,
This jail is a hell I don’t hail
Why did I fail and come to jail
This punishment of toileting in pail
Just a walk on the isle
Warden bring me a cross
Bring me the cross
So my mind may not cross
Let me pay my sins on the cross
I die for the sins of planters on this cross
I die for the uprooters on this cross
So put me on the cross and crucify me,
So crucify me to electrify me
So electrify me to purify me
For if I can’t let live, then let me be.
Give them their heads
Don’t make them headless.
