Rule 1: Stand up straight with your shoulders back
1 - Register on the Hierarchy
.
The hierarchy
older than the forbidden apple tree
Manifests a prey bird
who couldn’t be any more
Different than monkey me.
.
I am the defeated lobster
hunched over a neural screen
In the basement of the bottom
Of a sink with dishes unclean.
.
The room i cant seem to clean
Would be possible
with the right balance of Octopamine
But I was beaten and bullied by the tyrannical king
Smothered but never protected by the overbearing queen.
.
My name is Matthew
Here to remind you
that everything we value
Falls into the hands of the very few.
.
My name is Matthew and I am dangerous.
For I am a collection of evolved bad habits.
A negative feedback loop feels endless
Until a frog voice appears with message…
.
He says put down the bottle, your gun,
the precious
You can no longer dwell in the past
wreckage
Aim up and forget
this sorry pathetic weasel
your mind has mended.
.
Nothing can stop me but for a message encrypt
That emerged from chaos
Out of nothing
Don’t forget.
.
Stretch out for the very first time
Willingly accept the burden you’re bearing
From the bottom of the mountain, climb
Any chance of responsibility
You’re volunteering
.
Then, I hear it again…
Once you awake you cannot go back
To be asleep, not even a nap.
Once you begin you cannot retract
Stand up straight with your shoulders back.
Stand up straight with your shoulders back.
