The speakers should listen

And the listeners should speak

About things no one has heard

Long buried and forgotten. 

Muffled voices cry out

Moaning in their sleep

Ignored like they never lived

And silenced six feet deep.

They are the truth

Inconvenient and horrific

While we watch television

Fixed, dumb and fake. 

The world burns

Because the good do nothing

While evil men fiddle

Protected and smug. 

The innocent are forgotten

And the guilty worshipped

Propped up by lies

And narcissistic dreams. 

The shoe can drop

Or the hammer can fall

But you had better watch out

Because we are on our own.    

They will look the other way

While it all comes down

Focused on a delusional reality

Scripted and dead.

Childish, infantile and deranged

They see, only what they want

And nothing else

Nothing more than robots

That produce nothing, but pain.

The world is a circus

Played out

To keep us asleep

Laughing at absurdities

Quiet, docile, and dumb.

Evil never sleeps

And evil men are persistent

Never missing an opportunity

To twist, bind, and murder. 

Come everyone home

And embrace what is good

Because tomorrow we may fight

Just to preserve

And survive.
