How to revive, and refresh, and renew
Something not alive, but not dead, and not through
Surgically remove the zombie on a chain
Or brutally dispose of the mind without a brain
Old stuff drags along, weighing down the new
But fused into the core, not easy to undo
The slow and careful way might not be quite enough
But fast and painful action may be just a bit too rough
There’s no two ways about it, progress means some pain
Killing old dead remnants, and fleeing the remains
If it’s not doing new thinking, it needs to be removed
Or at least flip the burden, until its usefulness is proved
