Effective

let us be effective
at rolling dice
at killing glances
at lifting cups
finding hidden coins
let us be graceful
on the parallel bars
in cannons aimed
along the shores
of the river Styx
sir, dumb as rocks
our cheerleaders still root for us
even though they know better
than to let the devil in
sir, it is certain
that we are no better than animals
ha ha let us be criminals
amidst the ruins of heaven
