Meditation #12

Your attention please!

After much thought
I’ve decided to
start using
my real name

which is
"L’Wan"

which stands for
"Left Wing Assault Necktie"

and I will be touring immediately
with my partner
"R’Wan"
(aka  "Right Wing Assault Necktie")
as one half
of the greatest politically charged team of stealth folk assassins
on the planet

We will call ourselves
"The Accessories"
and return to our root cause
of changing the nature of your ears

with big acoustic guitars
that took years of wage slavery to acquire
and a sound system made entirely of
green tech lies

We’ll bake the bread of justice
in our shorts
and toss it to the hungry

We’ll make up a song
for every genocide
everywhere

We’ll rough up the Man
and teach him a thing or two

and make you cry for our convictions

You think I’m kidding you
about this plan
but I’m not

I’m a stealth dog
and R’Wan is a deadly cat
We’re the housepets your mother warned you about
who look all friendly and mild
then steal your breath when you’re asleep

using your acclaim to feed The Cause

Sniff us out at a theater near you
and save yourselves the trouble
of having us come into your homes

We’ll bug you
all the way to the food bank
and eat well while we’re doing it

angry little pooches
yapping at you to get real
yap yap
yap

The Accessories:
changing the world
one fashionably wrapped neck
at a time
