a piece of rope
[turn the other neck]

it was a piece of rope, [i handed you,]
to see if ay'd hang my other neck.

would you hang my other neck? friend.
would that get what you need? an end.

that piece of rope i handed you,
to see if you or they, would hang.

stayed strong and true, no pointless due.
what i said stood true, no fight due.

fair abundant pray, affront ensued,
for presuming past due, despite rig.

that piece of rope they handed you,
i declined to bind my mind by you.

and i still love you.

never mind that piece of rope, [i handed you,]
to see if they'd hang my other neck.

what would you do with my neck, ?
for leaving our love in such a wreck.

plenty more rope for us both, ironic
when metrics imply for they and ay.

opposame, carrying the poisons in poise,
declined usurp, love usury, form.

trans-temporal uncaged, been before,
tendwards, mendwards, enlaketch.

namaste procrastinate, fear disasterate,
silence supposed salience, save sabotage.

and i still love you.

plenty more rope, in the fields.
dare to grow emancipatory.

we've got crooks holding us down, we've had crooks holding us down. why are you still harking on marx (who'd not heed bakunin), when you berate those stuck on adam smith? come along with buckminster fuller. we've got crooks holding us down, we've had crooks holding us down. when 1 in 10,000 of us can innovate to care for all else, why pin all value on the labour and make everything harder and slaves of us all? come along with buckminster fuller. we've got spooks holding us down, we've had spooks holding us down. the youth of yesterdays and today are still right to reject the spurious notion we each have towork and toil to earn our right to life. 1 in 10,000. we've got crooks holding us down, we've had crooks holding us down. when we rise to say "we're not doing that anymore", we may reframe all our petty chores. when we see to educate ourselves and re-remember we may educate others, we may reframe all our petty chores. yet you may be listening from while still we've got crooks holding us down, while still we had crooks holding us down, reeling in suffering ignoramy or agony of knowing. join me in the agony of knowing, they know not what they do. we've got crooks holding us down, we've had crooks holding us down. no emancipation from hanging your worth on your toil. you are worth inately, to be and experience, to bare witness, to feel, and care, to be aware, to dare to dare, to be free and loving.

In case, like me, you may also need a reminder...

It is said an Eastern monarch once charged his wise men to invent him a sentence, to be ever in view, and which should be true and appropriate in all times and situations. They presented him the words: “And this, too, shall pass away.” How much it expresses! How chastening in the hour of pride! How consoling in the depths of affliction!’
~ An Address by Abraham Lincoln Before the Wisconsin State Agricultural Society, September 30, 1859
