The Children of Evil
don’t want you to know,
they’ve seen everything,
you’ve ever wanted to hide;
they’ve heard all of your stories,
they’ve eaten all of your snakes,
they’ve tasted your mescaline,
and they’ve rejected your bribes.
They want you to see,
that it’s possible out there,
to live a life
that’s sort-of free:
and they wish to inform you
that your values are ghastly:
that they won’t murder and steal,
in the shade of your tree.
