Captured

capture all those people they seem happy
take them all for us to measure then tie them up tightly
catch their fathers and cut them in two
and leave the rest to watch
weaker now despite our efforts
years resisting
beneath us we’ll never lift them out
believe us
years from now with all their weapons
theyll make it up somehow
and here among the crowd lies another one another one
and here among the crowd lies another one another one
