You see the truth all around you but how do you live with such horror? murder, brutality, torture rape, mutilation, genocide there is no imagined horror unrealized every disbelief becomes real this is no age for subtlety every government lies every vote changes nothing every ism is a sham these chains that keep your mind imprisoned every horror justified by security concerns you see the truth all around you and can't erase it with a Big Mac double decaf wet soy latte a trip to Maui sun and surf the truth is making you crazy they surely will lock you up unless you become a good citizen unless you buy instead of bitch forget what you can' t change happiness is masturbation jack yourself off to sleep peace is blindness, ignoring, forgetting Amen |
"You can't fix it. You can't make it go away.
I don't know what you're going to do about it,
But I know what I'm going to do about it. I'm just
going to walk away from it. Maybe
A small part of it will die if I'm not around
feeding it anymore."
