Chairman
Fish's
Big
Red
Book
|
So,
there I am,
A
fish out of water,
Gazing
lustfully at pleasures,
Primed
for others to taste.
A
mouse amongst men,
A
second class squeaker,
Still
tilting at windmills,
Seeking
possible dreams.
I'm
not here on my own,
There
are others, just like me,
Non
participants,
Biting
their tongues.
You,
so called commanders,
With
all of your blessings,
Assume
that our silence,
Means
we don't object.
You
think we're all grateful,
Scraping
crumbs off tables,
All
touching our forelocks,
That
we're happy with our lot.
I
tell you, we're seething,
Simmering,
whilst, smiling,
One
day, we'll be ready,
To
take what we want.
Then,
you'll see something,
A
positive bloodbath,
Our
talents'll dazzle,
You
won't be prepared.
Your
simpering complacence,
Will
get its comeuppance,
The
meek are preparing,
To
inherit the Earth.
You'll
get no warning,
You
won't be forgotten,
Whatever
you've done,
It's
all in the book.
All
of your thoughts,
All
of your actions,
Your
life's opening up,
For
us judges to see.
You
can't get away,
And
we'll enjoy it,
Whatever
you've done,
Your
name's on the list...
Trumpets
will sound,
And
we'll all be equals,
Meeting
our maker,
I'm
ready... Are you?
