Where is Rural?

Where is rural?
When you say, “Going Rural”
I see you heading that way
Which way?
To that province
And you want me convinced?
Right Under Rotten Admiral Lusionason?
When leeches are sucking from Admiral Lusionason
No I ain’t following dreamers
Coz they’re fairy tale lovers
Now tell me where is rural?
Is it where the rivers fall?
It probably is
Or did I miss
Something?
What thing?
Rural
Where is rural?
Where the track leads
You mean where the people plead?
I ain’t see no tracks?
You’re busy with your snacks
I ask again where is rural?
Mr Admiral
You seem lost
At my people’s cost
You’re not cool
You’re a tool
Used
And abused
Admiral Lusionason
You can’t reason
