Mother Mother


Mother Mother

Stay your hand

I've been good

and quite bland.

Father father

keep your head

stop the syringe

you've only bled.

Mother mother

open your eyes

keep your pride

don't listen to those lies.

Father father

behind the bars

kept sedated

ketp from harm. 

Mother Father

Stop the horrors

stay with me

safe and sound

and without cruelty.
