the days and ways to change
fly as birds on the wing.
fly as birds on the wing.
Control is the final destination
for those who must be right;
if not me, then no one.
for those who must be right;
if not me, then no one.
Passive-agression has a face:
blank eyes smolder with hate;
why are you not in my image?!
blank eyes smolder with hate;
why are you not in my image?!
No brilliant strategy can bind;
the way to freedom, step away
and proclaim the game unworthy.
the way to freedom, step away
and proclaim the game unworthy.
The resulting stale mate
claims a winless victory
and a libation of gall.
claims a winless victory
and a libation of gall.
Birds on the wing fly away,
leading days and ways to change,
leaving droppings on all monuments of inaction.
