Some find comfort
In fantasy
And many find peace
In self-delusion.
Living in Disneyland
With a head full of Novocain
Afraid of the truth
Thoughtless
And shameless.
Avoiding the unpleasant
At any cost
They pretend they are safe
And moral.
Pushing everything down
And blocking it all out
The uncomfortable truths
Staring at their face.
Pretending not to know
And cashing their checks
Nothing but tools
Nodding their heads
About nothing at all.
Experts at everything
Who know nothing at all
Too obtuse to learn
The obvious solution.
Exposed for all
Who have the courage
To stand up
And speak
Even when threatened
And even when attacked.
No one is more desperate
Than a cornered criminal
Long protected
And dripping with blood.
And beware the black swan
Suddenly sprung
To distract
And destroy.
Out of place
And out of time
The same old players
And murderers.
To them we are nothing
And to them we are a burden
Because they are better
And above reproach.
