Confederacy c. 1983

In This The 19th Chapter In The 4th Clause
It May Be Found That I’m A Rebel With A Cause
Through This Expedition Of The Malnutrition
Of The Heart And Its Lonely Condition
Hurt Pain And Suffering Seem To Abound
Where Love Care And Happiness Should Be Found
The Safari Goes On Through Jungles And Time
Where Deviation From The ‘Norm’ Is The Crime
Open Thought Punished By Ostracization
‘Be Satisfied With What You Have Forget Ambition!’
Dreams Are Left To Perish Between The Oases
Dying Of Thirst In Those Dark Crowded Places
Places In The Mind Places In The World
The Stench Of Death In Both Your Stomach Whirled
Want To Make A Clean Break Out In Front
A Homerun Swing Not A Weak Bunt
To Dock Your Ship At A Safe Pier
Bearings Made Straight Your Path Made Clear
Of All Obstacles Left Once In Your Way
Now That You’ve Made It A Little Time To Play
In This Place Your Dreams Helped To Build
Your Heart Is Full Your Spirit Is Filled
With All Of The Memories Of Where You Have Been,
Never To Be There At Home Ever Ever Again.
