cat's in the cradle
I broke logic today,
signed another petition for the humane treatment
of animals bred to be slaughtered;
it's only right, right?
in prisons the sentenced to die get
medicine and casts for broken feet,
one last meal of their choosing
We're all gonna die
sooner or later,
may as well start a petition for the humane treatment
of humans.
and break logic through the absurdity of the
human condition,
"give us this day our daily bread
and forgive us our trespasses."
the cat's in the cradle
and the cow jumped over
the harvest moon.
