stop listening to all these New Age nincompoops

as vile as the power-ruined religions that enslave us

no one will be by your side as you walk

'that lonesome valley' and no apotheosis of peace

will be anything but a shuck and a jive

and another imprisonment on the way to the tight

snares of perfection we wryly call 'freedom'
