Apologies to Willson Meredith, The Music Man
To the tune of 76 Trombones
Seventy six broke bones at the hippie raid,
With a hundred & ten Black corpses close at hand.
They were followed by rows and rows,
Of wounded pimps and whores,
The stoned of every famous band.
Seventy six cell phones caught the morning fun,
With a hundred & ten cop cars right behind.
There were a thousand creed,
All of them smoking weed,
There were horns of every shape & size.
There were copper bottom timpani in horse platoons,
Thundering, thundering, all along the way.
Double bell euphoniums and big ass loons,
Each big loon having its big fat way.
There were fifty mounted canons in the battery,
Thundering, thundering, louder than before.
Clarions of every size,
And strumpets who'd improvise
A full scream higher than the whore!
Seventy six broke bones hit the counterpoint,
While a hundred and ten cop guns blazed away.
To the rhythm of Harch! Harch! Harch!
All the kids began to march,
And they're marching to the courthouse today!

I'm an alien
to me you're like a lizard
and I am the mammalian
I've got toxoplasma in my cranium
to keep me salient
are you even sapient?
I'm not, half the time
that's why I'm saying it
but I'm awake today
and I'm angry
I can't take this shit
are we really gonna CNS depress ourselves away from it?
Hypocrisy is mocking me; I load my vape as I'm saying this
what I'm really saying is:
if we're all afraid to change, then *this* is the way it is
and, from where I stand in the sandbox
most won't ever understand why we really have cops
never saw the van or the Man or had to sleep on a damn rock
how can you feel the cage if you're you're blind to box?
