We Don't Own Our Bodies
Give me the names and addresses
of citizens who don’t exist
then try with all your damndest might
to slap them on the wrist
teach their fake lives important lessons
about morals imaginary
permit them to relocate their enlightened lives
to places, though unreal, sanitary
For these lowly, miserable invisible souls
the state shall regard remorse
and with a resounding slap across their ears
changed minds will be forced
give them the spin in the printed press
these citizens who don’t exist
when they cast their vote for a fake candidate
their losses will not be missed
Send brigades that really aren’t there
to extinguish their unfortunate fires
and though there aren’t actually any problems
interference is what the state requires
send me those names, send them right now!
give them all to me
the maintenance of delusional people who don’t exist
is the essence of democracy
by David McDonagh
