Just Wondering

You know There are times when I wonder There are more times I blunder In this grand stage, with tomorrow I turn yesterdays page And write another passage in my life Another twisted attempt at sanity Another stab at freedom One more try at understanding Instead of reprimanding Plain and simple Pure and true Everyday is getting hard to see through Everyday is just what it is, another day Someone dies by another’s hand Someone’s raped, mutilated, mugged, murdered Ripped off, pissed on, pissed off Sliced, diced, cut, quartered, canned and killed Did I miss anything ? Probably more than I care to know Isn’t anyone bored with death yet It’s been done, many times over Or are we shooting for overkill Who knows I know that nobody cares, as long as it doesn’t affect them How can you ignore this chaos How can you not see this madness before you Do you feel helpless ? Are you helpless ? Hopeful, hopeless, pathetic or a predator A doer or a done over, a loser or a lifer Look at your story and see if you want it to be told I fear for the world and the judgment that awaits all of us Eric (and sometimes not)
