Self-motion is healthy and natural

(research found means to make this factual)

but we must not allow it; crush them slow

–let them shoulder it, as we lay the blow–

peel eyelids ‘neath the pressure hose of shame

(so let all adulation feed the same),

so that all their self-starting drivenness

(which all take as well-polished givenness)

ruses, hiding that they’re passive before,

and ever react in servitude toward,

the sneering disgust of disappointed

authorities, whom the dark anointed.
