Play the Game

if  this is just a game

and we can play anything

then i want to play

i want to be a fucking pirate

or a rogue sailor

to curse and bless

and sail the seven seas

or i

want to be a fucking bandit

and rob a million bank chains

then give back the profits to

prove that i am like

robin hood

or i can fly like

fuckin peter pan

i want to live forever

just like the holy prophets do

or i

want to be a reigning cat queen

and conquer all of Persia

and beyond that too

i want to be future born

ancient

prophetess

and to

rove a hundred forests

to swing my foot along in time

swim a thousand lakes around

till i

cascade down

ferocious torrents

to land in just one

just one

everlasting embrace

i want to paint the kind of paintings

that become more after

i am gone

i want to sing

a hundred million trillion songs

that echo

into

before

or after

i’m a tsunami

i’m a hurricane

or an earthquake

i came here to

make it rain

make it rain

make it rain

thunder and lightning

oceans

of tidal waves

surging currents

through

the ends or

beginnings of

the human race

to be free-er

on the earth

so

i want to be the hero

who overthrows

or breaks the chains

of patriarchies

ego death trip hold

if this is the game

you fucking told me to play it

and if this is a game

then i want to play

i want to be the

fuckin cowgirl

who rides the open range

and spits from the hip

the

real

rebel rebel

cheerleader
