"He who gains a victory over other men is strong; but he who gains a victory over himself is all powerful."
Lao Tzu

Until I'm Gone

Arise the kingdom of fools
Cloned before the placenta cools
Lies to entice the slave
Molesting as I crawl to my grave

Illusion's own exalted queen
Crowned for the truth unseen
Camouflaged to please the masses
Forgotten as each day passes

The burning headlights of Acteon
Running to somewhere I belong
Never believing what I see
Scratching and clawing until I am free

Screams behind picket fences
Injected fantasies please the senses
Vicious dreams before the dawn
Lonely paths I trudge upon
Fighting demons until I'm gone
