You're just a victim of society
You do not know how to set yourself free
(Spirit, “Victim of Society,”
Spirit of '76
)
here on the outside you have too much freedom they call it parole but it's like waking up from an orderly
dream into a
nightmarish chaos there is no up or down no right or left when everything has been done and said a million
times and
it's all just another way of saying the same thing the flat-earthers were right human existence is flat flat
flat except
you don't fall off the edge you just keep returning to the starting place time and time again the one
dimension going
out in all directions containing all the others welcome to another day at the edge of the 21st century
