We have lost ourselves somewhere in between
What was first told us and what is in this current telling.
Many among us gouged out their eyes not willing to see.
Many pulled out their brains not willing to reason.
Many are and were too trustful of leaders who knew they had us
Wrapped around their secret information
Of weapons and intentions that only killers
Dream of conquering the world with.
They fed us lies
Knowingly---That’s the dark root of it.
And because of what has been fed us,
And because of what we have devoured,
Some among us sit in this void, numbed and dumb,
While some cower in corners like scared animals.
There are some, though, who have not lost vision or sense,
Who understand that consequences are divied out
For sins both of commission and omission.
It is they who see the blood on our hands and want---
Like nothing else---to wash them clean.
It is they who hear the curses that will haunt us, our children, and
Our children’s children, and want---
Like nothing else---to undo what’s been done.
It is they who see us lost on this road with no destination
And want---like nothing else---to regain command
Of that national and international dialogue
That has lead us truly nowhere
but to ruin.
