With a Lick & a Sneer

What do you think Lord?
We could halve the hours
Halve the stress
Double our life-spans
Spend more time
With our loved ones
On higher spiritual matters
And such

Do we need the hierarchy Lord?
Or does it need us, so much more
I hate networking
I hate the silent majority
I hate myself
For being a part of them
In their self-aggrandizing
Schemes

Nice, be nice
Appreciate nice
Love tenderness, kindness
Thank it
For finding you
Ask it to stay
For as long as it wants
Just ask it anyway

Yes
Wins and losses
And all that
Chemical words
Printed swords
The evil
We suppress
... Awkwardly
