lock the rebel face to face
no understanding can
see all the pieces
unless by a committee
of underachieving
locked behind the pharaohs face

bobby says: ” says no ”
jany says: “how high?”
eric says: ” this one ”
maria explains: “my career”
hans explains: “my wife”
amir: “better this Devil”
pedro: ” I stay out of trouble”

look the rebel and embrace
scatter pieces
unless by committee
sell the swindle:
the virtual holy place

pirate8:: “love you”
server5:: ” stay away ”
gov4:: “no ones home”
radio7:: this is dust”
tv12:: “walk this way”

lance the rebel, know his pace
sift shifts separates
scrapes the pieces
to hold his place
hopes for valor
and pharoah’s loving embrace.
