Cut From the Chase and Get to The Point
By a show of hands...
Who amongst you,
Would be willing to give up your pretensions...
If you could afford an introduction to truth?
I see!
Okay.
Let me put that another way.
I can tell this lesson is going to be painful.
By a show of hands...
Who amongst you can acknowledge,
That deceit,
As it was once received and delivered...
Who prefers more of that,
Although it exposes...
Those who keep that active?
'Mister Pringle,
Can we cut from the chase and get to the point?
All of us sittin' up in here 'is' dysfunctional.
Greed to us is like crack.
If that's all you know...
What picture 'is' you paintin'
For us to carry on our backs?
Just tell us what we have to do...
To pass this class.
Most of us have to get out of here...
To sell some bags of grass and do that fast!
Those 'visions' you have,
Have not been 'prioritized' to satisfy our needs.
Can you cut the chase and pick up the pace, please? '
I see!
Okay.
Let me put that another way.
I can tell this lesson is going to be painful.
By a show of hands...
How many of you now observe a fool?
Hoping to impress with a shallowness.
As a way to keep an attraction...
To an empty nothingness?
I see!
Marshall, you may leave!
Many here wish to keep...
Their ignorance kept more discreet!
