and never stopped

its just been sitting there glowering
we can see it peeking ever so often

saying that it comes in peace

so do we just have a bit of fun

allowing bread and freedom
treating all to solid gold

oh say can you see
all the scientists fear god

they don’t even give her a name
saying please listen

we’ll take it from here
they’ve beaten you

without your knowing it
they’ve got you cornered in fear

themselves shaking in tears

embodiment of efficiency
the spear of nature

states of being
mind-changers

a compounding of all things
