In sequence shake petals, stamen. 
Mother’s own Fruitlands of the mind, 
a pebble labyrinth to trace. Across the river 
my dreams laugh and smile. 
I’m talking up a storm. 

I am in your kitchen but 
you don’t know where. 
Hint: I am in your bread. 

Wonder loves reasons, 
slept through things. 
Unplanned details: 
dents, socks hooked 
on a nail. 

Generate beliefs in a hurry. 
I believe in the ice cream lines 
of my penmanship paper. 
The thrill of the chalk in the pocket. 
Happy whales and their destinations. 

How well we let ourselves be trained 
is only a reflection 
of how much we love our master.

Are you aware of Upton Sinclaire? 
grievances shared, let us breathe fresh air 
the ILO is now just a century old 
senate seats sold, so society folds 

Is it true what we've been told 
by these men in their shiny blue coats? 
Corporate locals trying to infiltrate 
our minds' controlled 
could this truly be our fate? 

I don't care for the things that you choose 
little to fair for, the things you do 
In the right hand, you stand 
can't you see where we loose? 

Sing along kids, you know the part 
Forget about art class it's about to get dark 
If we don't stand up for our creative rights 
east vs. west will clearly win this fight 

Seal your lips while they pull your strings 
pocket change for us corporate kings 
The elite compete to defeat main street 
Beyond reprimand, so now we fill grand strands 

Must we end collective bargaining? 
Wisconsin is the key, my friends, you see 
Raise your voice in solidarity 

I don't care for the things that you choose 
little to fair for, the things you do 
In the right hand, you stand 
can't you see where we loose? 

M.L.K. gave his days, paved our ways 
Great lake states rue your bait, 
now aim straight 
do not wait, 
demonstrate 
reap your fate 
Now
