I can't believe i wasn't manhandled
I look suspicious
Honest, I'm up to no good
I have a secret pocket in my raincoat
Potentially deadly weapons hold my hair in place
I've been bad before
Sadly, i told the security guard only lies
They never suspect me
unless i tell the truth
The application
brimming with hope and lies
And you know it
And if i carefully thought
-instead of prayed to long dead gods
for a thing i didn't truly desire,
then i would know it also.
It's not the truth gap,
but the awareness gap,
which makes possible oppression
Now, in this moment of knowledge-power,
i am more expendable than ever.
