Here We Are
There you are
Hanging out at the "Ja' s Java" expresso stand
in your country club church
talkin bout the war
like it was a foot ball game
there you are
There you are
judging that woman you don't even know
gasping in shock
over what you heard
about your neighbor
there you are
Here I am
too afraid to do anything but write
cause your freakin out
about an exposed breast
or a mother nursing
her baby in public
while the world drowns in blood
Here we are.
