Pay Attention To the Signs
Another candle lit eve
brimming with flowers and stuffed things
tin tears and puffy prayers
fiery speeches from cherry tongued preachers
all the while the hollow eyed ogre smirks.
Waves of:
blame
the gun
ratatatat
blame
the man
ratatatat
blame
society
ratatatat
blame
our faded genes...
ratatatat
Nothing ever gets done,
noses buried in our cell phones
heads up our sluggish @sses
send the lambs back into
the power lines and stained glass
ratatatat
Numb to carnage and blood
(it will never happen to us)
but there's a pair of snake eyes
in the back of every bus.
but do not deny
there were
signs
there's always
signs
pay attention to the
signs!
