Patterns by Ulysses Marshall

Patterns that tell you

what to do,

when to do it,

how to do it,

I despise.

Because such patterns are formed to cause harm

To people who try to be free

Or who no longer have a longing for complete conformity

Patterns that make you become fed up, should be broke up

Patterns that make you bitter and mean

Patterns that control your destiny

Patterns that make you shout out against them in anger

Patterns that make you wonder about the possibility of self determination

Such patterns should be assassinated

To divert the internal death it causes

Patterns that dismantle the minds of men

Should be brought to an end

Most patterns ain’t fit for nothing but a wrecking crew

Wreckers, where are you?
