Perpending Et Al

People say it's all been written

That's a lie

A lie as black as a Mamba

As a Mamba's lamba

People say it's all been written

That's like saying it was eaten

Digested, degusted, degutted 

Then, gutted back

People say it's all been written

How could it be?

How could it bleed?

How could it lead?

We don't know

Nobody knows, cause they've got troubles

Troubles to attend, defend, debend, perpend

That's how troubles go by: perpending

Troubles go about life perpending

Pretending to perpend 

As if they cared,

As if they dared caring

That's why we don't write:

We pretend to write

To protect ourselves

Inside a gutted writing.
