Government Guidelines: Obey

by Nick Gisburne



Attention! With immediate effect
Your basic daily freedoms will be cut
For those who wish to query or object
Combustion crews will burn your housing hut
Hilarity, and all subversive joy
Now joins the public prohibition list
Unsanctioned smiles, while easy to deploy
Are subject to removal, with a fist
The gates to Sector Seven have been sealed
Ignore the smell of burning flesh, and smoke
Your legal right to justice is repealed
There are no bounds to what we may revoke
    Your absolute consent is pre-approved
    Obey, or we will have your mind removed
