If the plane goes down The president will come around If it all goes south We’ll make it out If the state's a ship Who will steady it? If it all goes down Who will be around? Beyond the wall Enemies rise, they will fall We will exist A man is what he is If the state's a ship Who will steady it? If it all goes down Who will be around? Your fate on a razor’s edge Rotting flesh in the mouths of the dogs and the birds Our state is sick Our state is sick And the gods can’t save us And the gods can’t save us And the gods can’t save us And the gods can’t save us There is what is There is where we come from What'll we do now? Will we make it out? Will we make it out? As the oceans rise Pundits surmise If it all goes down Who will be around?

We are the chorus We are the anthem We are the sanction We are the justified We are the chorus We are the anthem We are the sanctified We are the just

Duty and obligation From above, and here below Voices will rise In dissent We will not stand for your lies Promise me you’ll be a good girl And there’ll be ice cream Moderate? I won’t be moderate Love will vanquish hate I’m not your good little girl Promise me you’ll be a good girl And there’ll be ice cream Listen to me, listen to reason The time is out of joint The time is out of joint The time is out of joint There will be no need for argument The board is set And there’ll be what there’ll be And there’ll be what there’ll be We will not stand for your lies We will not stand for your lies We will not stand We will not stand for your lies

about

The fury of youth survives grad school and the election of Donald Trump. Melodic, cerebral, scathing. Perennial questions since Sophocles, explored afresh in #2017: tyranny, misogyny, resistance.

about

O Apostrophe Kampala, Uganda

Melodic, literate, subversive. O Apostrophe is the nom de guerre of Eric Steven Spreng. Beholden to no one, Spreng follows the muses when he sees fit. A wanderer, a believer in the arts, and a high school English teacher.
