Oppress Yourself

In body and in name With honor and with shame By number and by worth Through logic and the absurd Through breath and through pulse In motion and at rest Through matter and through vacuum By trial and by test Oppress yourself Through organs of sound Through organs of sight Through monitors of temperature With meters of light Bridges crossing water Bridges crossing land Subterranean rivers seeping through the sand Oppress yourself Hanging from the ceiling Eating off the floor Reaching without fear Conquer without force The lion begins to bleat The lamb begins to roar Disintegration by the dozens Evaporation by the scores Oppress yourself
