I\u2019m Guessing –

Some Thing

The Priests may be

\nHoly Books of
\nWhat You Must
\nBecome –

But They\u2019re
\nhardly Alone
\nin The
\nYou Must
\nBecome Better
\nDepartment.<\/p>\n

What If
\nThe Whole
\nBecoming
\nEnterprise Is
\na Control Device, or
\na Moneymaker?<\/p>\n

A Dangling Carrot?
\nA Calculated

What If
\nYou Already
\nAre?<\/p>\n

What If
\nUnbecoming Is
\nWhat You Need
\nTo Be?<\/p>\n
