- No Sustained State Has Ever Existed

- you can talk of human nature,
- how I need a preacher
- to tell me I don't deserve infinity,
- how I don't deserve to *breathe* and *live free*.
- it hurts me to say, I thought you were close
- to seeing behind the veil so thin as a ghost.
- no matter, no wait: I'll still cease this pain!
- no revolution needed to break these chains!
- why should I care about the sleepwalking masses
- with their corporatist bows and their highway overpasses?
- why should I live under tyranny's grasp
- just because of the failures of those in the past?
- I know not who you spoke to; I know not what you "learned"
- to make liberty to you so easily spurned.
- I'll go it alone if I can, if I must
- walk down this path without anyone I can trust.
- your Stalins and Maos and Lenins breathe no more,
- but through my veins burns dear Novatore!
- I am a Goddess-sent beast, a destroyer of cages,
- through my harsh-spoken words and knobby phalanges!
- No war but my war,
- no cause but my cause,
- no power but my power,
- no laws but my laws!
