"Prayer for the Lone Oak Buffalo

This is in honor of every small town Texas high school student who is going to make something of themselves.

"Prayer for the Lone Oak Buffalo"

And from the beginning:
This town is toxic to bison like thee
No singing or sinning
"-No!- it's prayer that will make you free"

But god is a dancer
The pastors, wallflowers
While you've got Will to Greatness
They offer you a corrupt cancer
So fly! fly! fly!
Ain't fuck-all they can do!

But collars aren't your only
Members of the Axis
/school and society/
They wanna crush you
And from time to time they will
(Remember: they can stay and stare when you actualize)
But you are
Smart&quick&clever&strong& & &
Better
Well, okay, not better
But you are better made to live on this earth
Don't listen to the screaming tutors of 'truth'
Theirs is a corrupt truth of facts and figures

(Don't forget the three sorts of lies)
-Lies
-Damned Lies
-Statistics

And friends may (will) at times be rare
Course you don't deal in small talk
Like a side-street weapons-dealing gangbanger
You are an international rogue
The terror of every empire!
And each word that pours from your mouth is an ICBM

(And henceforth)
So rally your fellow soldiers
The time to fight is now!
The senseless shallow waters won't make waves
And remember that stunted ambition
Hell, that's what makes graves
