Police turn up as thieves in night,
meaning power without passion,
giving words like a hangman's greeting;
which would serve to make peace
if they could rule out passion;
and that could be:
life exists where air can't fall;
but our lives fail without surface
and that caves without its depths
as will collapses without passion
into obstinacy and hate:
slaves we code to do our bidding
may sooner bid us break the code
which keeps us part with breaking nature
