v.1
Having found reason, the original tool,
we emerged into this mortal domain
subject to a force, like gravity,
that impels the discernment of archetypes –
Beginning with poet, priest, and prostitute,
but since threesomes have no standing
on the golf course, we found politicians,
who promise to not rule, then reason.
v.2
Having found reason, the original tool,
we emerged into this mortal domain
subject to a force, like gravity,
that impels the discernment of archetypes –
Beginning with priest, poet, and poltician,
but since threesomes have no standing
on the golf course, we invented the prostitute,
who promises to not charge, then reason.
v.3
Having found reason, the original tool,
we emerged into this mortal domain
subject to a force, like gravity,
that impels the discernment of archetypes –
Beginning with poet, politician, and prostitute,
but since threesomes have no standing
on the golf course, we invented the priest,
who promises to not condemn, then reason.
v.4
Having found reason, the original tool,
we emerged into this mortal domain
subject to a force, like gravity,
that impels the discernment of archetypes –
Beginning with politician, priest, and prostitute,
but since threesomes have no standing
on the golf course, we invented the poet,
who promises to not rhyme, then reason.
