An Ode to Unconsidered Viewpoints

Between pictured bells and terrorist cells,
Let's put our lives on the line.
Elliptical trials that stretch on for miles.
Oh why do they say there's no hope?

They put us in a line, she warned, she whined,
They've lined us up like sheep,
Holding us down with their every pound,
Steal our breath and bodies.

orange cupcakes merciless, scurrilous,
They're vegan you know, but better
Than the humdrum sugar you know you abhor,
No tricks or tears in here.

Our bodies were rent, but don't repent
It's okay as long as you say it is.
We are not the owners, only loners
Trapped inside our heads.

No tricks or tears in here.
No tricks or tears in here.
