Philosophical Dialogue

It is the man in the suit’s job to make sense of things.
All men in suits are liars. Yes, it is true, but nonetheless
We rely on them to sum up. They tell you one thing
To your face, but in the background they’re calculating.
We are aware of this, but they do the job well, and we like
What they prepare. Once he hit me with a blackjack
Or a cosh, and then gave a speech to a school.
The proper forms were not filled out for us to document
That case, and besides he claims that he doesn’t
Carry such an item. His card lists him as professional
Charlatan, and he’s behind you right now with his club
Ready to strike. He’s not behind me, he’s in his room
Writing the philosophy of the modern age.
Get ready for the blackout. I can see everything perfectly…
