Let us push through
A sliver of glassy sunlight
Through the set skulls
Of empiricists
Let us kill them
Let us kill them slowly
Let us kill them swiftly
Let us kill them with poetry
We could scoop their blood then
We could scoop their blood and
And hydrate the right-angled
Hydrate the right-angled shrivelled
The right-angled shrivelled oaky trees
Shrivelled oaky trees of masculinity
The trees would spruce up perhaps
Bosom up a bit?
Perhaps even fruition
And drop their loads
Onto the acidic land
The acidic land with high blood pressure
This pulsing land
This cracking land
And sweeten it a bit?
Who ever knew
Who ever knew
The blood of the objectivists
Had such suppressed feminity?!
A sliver of glassy sunlight
Through the set skulls
Of empiricists
Let us kill them
Let us kill them slowly
Let us kill them swiftly
Let us kill them with poetry
We could scoop their blood then
We could scoop their blood and
And hydrate the right-angled
Hydrate the right-angled shrivelled
The right-angled shrivelled oaky trees
Shrivelled oaky trees of masculinity
The trees would spruce up perhaps
Bosom up a bit?
Perhaps even fruition
And drop their loads
Onto the acidic land
The acidic land with high blood pressure
This pulsing land
This cracking land
And sweeten it a bit?
Who ever knew
Who ever knew
The blood of the objectivists
Had such suppressed feminity?!
