An Antinational's Love Letter to the Government

The Government tells
The Government tells a lot
I don't listen to any of it
For I don’t believe any of it


For I don’t believe in tell-tales, myths, fables and folklores
For I’ve learned to believe that sees the eye, my eye
Anything and everything above and beyond are but figments of fiction
Lives that breathe in fiction are more often killed in the brittle pages of yet another novel
And if I had to live fiction, if I ever desired to
I’d rather live and die a fiction of choice, not one of compulsion



If the Government tells you to let go of your faith, let go of the Government
If the Government tells you what to eat and what not to, let go of the Government
If the Government tells you what immorality might cost you, let go of the Government
If the Government tells you to hate and kill in the name of God, let go of the Government
If the Government tells you how it disapproves of how you behave, let go of the Government

If the Government calls you an anomaly for who you are
Fail the Government
If the Government calls you an absurdity for who you sleep with
Fail the Government
If the Government calls you a disease for what you write
Fail the Government
If the Government calls you an antinational for what you believe
Fail the Government
If the Government calls you an aberration for not adhering to the Government's idea of democracy
Fail the Government

Let go of the Government
For the Government has long let go of you
Fail the Government
For the Government has long failed you


The Government has faces
And the faces will come and go
But the idea of Government is not on sale or for bargain


The Government is just an idea, another abstract, if not for the people


And, the Government is but about governance, and not forced acceptances
And, the Government is but about governance, and not a nation in itself

The Government that believes otherwise is cancered


And if the Government has let go of the very people, and if the Government has failed the very people, what more is it than an idea misconceived
And don’t we all know, miscarriage is but a synonym for abortion?


A cancered Government is no better than a cancered mortal
A dead Government is no better than a dead foetus
