Flappy Mephlapperson

Our integrated soul, a tracking chip, compels endless migration, seeking true home beyond cuckooish reality.

June 15, 2022

Like that tracking device
  Tied on your fluffy back is my soul
 A chip implanted deep
   Into yours. What keeps us
 Migrating from country to country
 Without a passport, from day to day
  Without a visa is our integrated soul
     Trying to find its way to our ultimate home
In the outer space beyond our cuckooish reality

In the outer space beyond our cuckooish reality
      Trying to find its way to our ultimate home
   Without a visa is our integrated soul
  Without a passport, from day to day
 Migrating from country to country
  Into yours. What keeps us
  Is a chip implanted deep
 Tied on your fluffy back is my soul
 Like that tracking device
