Follow the rules
You'll be alright
Follow the rules
Just hold on tight
It's only a matter of time
Before age catches up
And you have no one to blame but
Yourself for falling behind
Put in a place of shame
Follow the rules
But rebellion strikes
To light the fire within
Remember you will be alright
Cause trouble to overthrow
This dictatorship; I thought this was a democracy
Take a step to what is needed
Not just for yourself but for others
Remember you must follow the rules
Not of society
But the rules of your heart
That is what creates destiny
Destiny for those who will follow
Now take this horizon and make yours with it
Follow your rules
Be happy with yourself
Be true
Be happy with all you do
Make this look
Simple

Faedaze
Daisy leaned back against the wall of the window bench, the dress she was embroidering on falling to her lap, all but forgotten. Her gaze rested on the trees just beyond the edge of her garden, watching with dreamlike expression on her face, waiting for something others doubted would ever come.

Disarmament
They say there's no atheism in the foxhole. While I wasn't currently neck-deep in a river of soft sediment, I was still praying to whoever would listen. Why am I doing this again? I would ponder while staring at the device that in no less than a minute could be my undoing. I scanned each and every variable panel and commonplace button as I watched the bright red L.E.D ticker countdown. No wires to cut, no code to put in, there was only one way to stop this infernal machine, and that incurred perfect timing.
