good morning
repeat after me
I am expert
neuro-behavioral
specialist
(lethal weapon)
you are (mere)
chemicals
complexity
complexity
a S
k
     E
  w
but better chemicals
will cure
don't worry
(be a zombie)
I research (ruthlessly)
creating life
(in cauldrons
boiling) neatly
over bunsen burners
I (disguised)
distill (amnesia)
wonders
in these test tubes
see my lab coat?
all very scientific
you wouldn't understand
(spirit
not
not spirit
spirit spooky
all is matter
soulvoid
chemical
snakes writhing
in brain waves)
II
I provide
a needed service
I do care (pretend)
I listen
(never really
to your inane prattle)
I tolerate (your ugliness)
(eliminate)
your imperfections
(write prescriptions)
to help you
face reality
life is chaos
I offer you escape
voila !
you overdosed
so sorry
you refused
your medication
I did try
to warn you
III
relax
(while I eradicate)
your (terrifying) mind
I know what's best
for your own
(inferior) good
gratify yourself
there is no right
no wrong
congratulationsÂ
on your (breakdown
…OOPS)
breakthrough
do come again
next week
and the week after
the politicians pay
all treatment costs
(puppets
wielding
let's call it power
deluded fools
we know
who rules the world
down goes the gavel
up pops money
they pay me
to forget
I drug
their wives)
IV
poor children
so misguided
I do what's necessary
I do it all for you
I make the world
a nicer place
calm
quiet
(dead)
people everywhere
so sick
I provide
protection
isolation
name diseases
(labels) for your kids
so they too
can be safe
life is very dangerous
we can cure infants now
V
I could give you secrets
incantations
to protect you
(I know voodoo)
I could let the demons out
(out damned spot)
I have extensive training
(would love to pierce
your brain)
they took awayÂ
my lovely stainless steel
(cold gleaming
titillating
surgical)
my tools
but do come visit
not so bad here
in this padded cell
you'll bring some leeches?
and a knife?
