If Only You’ll ComplyBy: Reed Dennis One night in a hopeless placeLucifer came to meWith promises of better daysAnd quite the simple plea…He said, “Give me all your problemsYou need no longer tryI’ll assume responsibilityIf only you’ll comply;I’ll take all your emotionSo you won’t have to cryI’ll bear your burdens for youIf only you’ll comply;I’ll reset all your debtsAnd provide you UBIYou’ll get this securityIf only you’ll comply;I’ll inject you with a potionSo you won’t think you’ll dieI’ll clothe you as a saviorIf only you’ll comply;I’ll house you in a shelterA box that’s safe and dryYou’ll never have to leave itIf only you’ll comply.”He watched me with amusementAs I entertained his plea And since I had no questionsHe continued on with glee…“I’ll babysit your childrenTeach them masteryI’ll mold them into somethingJust leave it all to me;I’ll place you in an orderIn a job with dignityYou’ll serve the greater goodJust leave it all to me;I’ll plant a chip inside youGive you identityYou’ll never go unnoticedJust leave it all to me;I’ll mask all your symptomsOf a false realityJust turn over your well beingOutsource it all to me;I’ll translate all your differenceInto plain equalityJust give me your uniquenessIt’s all the same to me.”He could sense my resistanceAs my heart began to museSo he pressed harder onwardBefore I could refuse…“I’ll remove all your obstaclesSo you’ll never have to loseI’ll fix life in your favorTo what I know you’d choose;I’ll feed you your essentialsYour GMO-fried newsI’ll inform you in my imageIt’s what I know you’d choose;I’ll weaponize your fearAnd direct you how to useI’ll aim it at your brotherIt’s what I know you’d choose;I’ll create a system for youTo control your attitudeYou’ll be happy in this systemOf indentured servitude;I’ll censor you opponentsAnd crush all you dissentersYou signed away your rightsIn this contract that you entered.”He shouted with a rageWith commanding dictateI wanted to rebuke himBut he would not abate.“I’ll cover you in darknessAnd smother you in terrorYou’ll obey my every orderI tolerate no error;I’ll deliver you to evilTo fury and disaster You’ll do as you are toldThe bidding of your master;I’ll put my mark upon youYou’ll be my propertyYou gave me all your powerYou gave it all to me.”I could feel his weight upon meMy walls were caving inMy game had played out for meBefore I could begin;I tried to stand up to himBut cut off at the kneesI found myself bowingAt the altar of disease.Then at this very momentWith my spirit all but takenA light grew inside meAnd I started to awaken;I remembered that my powerWas only mine to giveI remembered that my lifeWas only mine to liveI remembered that the TruthDoesn’t exist in a lie,And such hell can’t befall usIf we don’t comply.
