My Manifesto

I tried religion
I got down on my knees and prayed for moral certainty
Amid the superstitions
And stained glass saints I felt a heart of authenticity

There at the altar of the church
I heard the urgent call to merge
With a holy divinity
Copy paste an identity
From the Bible in the pew

I tried the military
I heard the trumpet's call to make heroic history
Amid bureaucracy
And scrambled eggs I felt an arc of electricity

There at the front rank of the corps
I heard the urgent call to merge
With a martial authority
Copy paste an identity
From manuals at the motor pool

I choose to write my own code
I choose to ride my own road
I choose to pack my own load
This is my manifesto

I choose to write my own code
I choose to ride my own road
I choose to pack my own load
This is my manifesto

I tried a party
I went from door to door to spread its ideology
Amid the sanctimony
And waving flags I felt a spark of unanimity

There at the vanguard of the march
I heard the urgent call to merge
With a moral philosophy
Copy paste an identity
From the textbooks back at school

I choose to write my own code
I choose to ride my own road
I choose to pack my own load
This is my manifesto

I choose to write my own code
I choose to ride my own road
I choose to pack my own load
This is my manifesto

I choose to write my own code
I choose to ride my own road
I choose to pack my own load
This is my manifesto

I choose to write my own code
I choose to ride my own road
I choose to pack my own load
This is my manifesto

This is my manifesto
This is my manifesto
This is my manifesto
This is my manifesto
