<verse>
Empty cages
Ashes of mental asylums
The unquiet dead and living
Shove Capital’s statute of madness back into its face.
</verse>
<verse>
The heavy DSM-5
Leaves marks
When applied.
</verse>
<verse>
Hope persists alongside my dreaming
Screaming sobbing sickness
Hurry Comrade:
Hurry to play.
Hurry to go mad.
Hurry to refuse work.
Hurry to arm yourself.
</verse>
<verse>
Hurry to create communities of joy.
</verse>
