The Lonely and The Righteous

I do not want this

But I have no choice

It is the ordained path

For all of us

Like me

Who are lonely and the righteous

We do not want this

But we have no choice

We are slaves to what we think

Ought

To ideas

We are slaves

To people

We are unmanageable

Difficult

To get along with

To have fun with

Let alone that we think fun

Is nothing more than

An expression of ideology

And that group events

Are for the unrefined

And thus we choose

A different path

For the lonely and the righteous

A path we take and it just might just

Lead us somewhere away from y’all

Lead me somewhere away from you

Bring peace into the equation…
