Play the Game
by truthtramp
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
