don't say like begets like

then think

we'll draw some opposite lesson from our pains


don't give someone freedom of choice

then damn them in your derangement

for choosing their way


you demand obedience

you will not be mocked

it's a shame the good you demand of us


is not part of your demeanor

but if you wind up alone

at the end of this creation


know you choose it for yourself

the same way you saddled us with it....
