Nothing Changes If

I dream of a place Where nobody cares Where nobody listens Cuz nobody hears Where people are selfish And nobody shares thoughts and emotions fueled by ideas a place with no tears cuz nobody cries where nobody sees through X-ed out dead eyes where demons wear medals and collars of white laugh at the needy when they’re out of sight then plead with the voters please elect us again for we are much better than those “other” men the split in their tongues their venomous lies axe murderers pleading before the blood dries It wasn’t our fault we did all that we dared we even pretended that we really cared Perhaps we’d be better Electing some strangers Because nothing changes If nothing changes…..
