Friend, you are an immature human, creating a loud sound,
Undertaking recreation in the shared transit space, eventually you will be a large human
Your features are covered in dirt, and you bring shame
You persist in kicking a container, melodically chanting:

We intend, we intend to rock you
We intend, we intend to rock you

Friend, you are an immature man, a man of great firmness,
You make a loud noise in the shared transit space, one day you will compete with a planet,
You have circulatory liquid covering your features, you bring shame
You are waving your insignia in view of all.

We intend, we intend to rock you (reproduce these words melodically)
We intend, we intend to rock you

Friend, you are someone whose has orbited the sun many times and has no wealth
Appealing with your ocular sensors, one day you will rest
Your features are covered in dirt, and you bring shame
Another being should remind you of your position.

We intend, we intend to rock you (reproduce these words melodically)
We intend, we intend to rock you (all the beings)
We intend, we intend to rock you (make a noise with closed lips)
We intend, we intend to rock you
All are well.

Still, the chilling effect of free speech is a thing.

THE Pope? From a man claiming to be catholic?

Okay, it wasn’t exactly say a warmonger, but the pope did say “blessed are the peacemakers” and that he “would speak out loud against war.”

Panel 2: I see he has forgotten how….
Panel 3: My speech is a nice hat. (the speech bubble rests on his head)

Having posted one a day for nearly a month, it’s likely to slow down going forward.
