Sovereignty  

I wish you freedom

Freedom from trying to be slightly better

Being marginally ahead in a wild goose chase

Of ferocious battles for really small stakes

Of killing each other for a piece of cake

I wish you freedom

From blending in with the insane crowd

Being trampled in the stampede of morons

Of everyone rushing into a packed train

Desperate to be a pawn in the game

I wish you freedom

From anxieties of tiny defeats, disgrace

The pride of being a perfect rat in the race

A life spent ticking someone’s checklist

Of being owned by goods we can’t resist

I wish you freedom

From trying to be a squirrel forced to fly

From a fancy job, lofty pedestal in the sky

Of everyone outside wanting to get in

Of everyone inside wanting to get out

I wish you wisdom

To shun your clothes, dance nude again

Of finding your own, uncluttered lane

To find what’s valuable, important to you

To sing your song, a beat that rings true
