Bury your success deep because this world is not yet ready for your control.

Take from others their choices, their dreams, their sharp edged tapestries hung high,

From derelict corners of their minds eye KILL & bury them deep before writing their obituaries.

Do ya have the gumption, the know how, the fortitude to look inward and see the roots,

Run run run run run run run run run run run run run deep deep deep deep deep deep deep.

Deep inside you cutting you to constricting breathes and coiled fists clenching on to time,

Time do you have time to talk or do you only have shovels?

After all there are only two kinds of people in this world:

Those with guns

&

Those that dig.
