with some reserve 
to protect and serve 
in this some believe 
and those few leave 

some die 
some won't comply 
some fired 
some are tired

39 For Cred

what you make yourself

ninety-two dollars supplies

for seven dollars why buy

for cred, don'cha know?
how smart you are doesn't show
that much cash you blow

38 Not a Chance

The creator leaves no chance
All to ego do enhance
Planning that creation fail
That all may repairs hail
The child who sick does die
No need to inquire why
Slaughter of innocents
To creator’s will bent
Cruel acts to man by man
The essence of the plan
A feature not a bug
That you misery hug

37 Even Then

we die 
even when 
we comply lethally then 
embolden'd

fury on a lead
coiled, ready to slash and make prey bleed
