Government Guidelines: Deviance

by Nick Gisburne



We see the great intelligence you’ve shown,
The boundaries of knowledge you explore,
But history is never walked alone,
A truth you seem determined to ignore.
Your deviance diverges from the State,
A thought which overwhelms us with distaste.
We bring you here to clearly demonstrate
Rejection of our methods is misplaced.
In forfeiting the treasures of your mind,
Accept that this was always meant to be.
Convicted by your government, we find
Your hopes, your dreams, must never now be free.
    Your brain will be repurposed and repaired,
    Until complete compliance is declared.
