Please Stop the Bus I Want 2 Get Off

If indeed in fact

This is actually reality

The current world I am 

Existing and alive living in today 

And rather I am not in 

A perpetual dream state

Having to digest and then dissect afterwards 

The daily news and all the issues and things

That are happening around our world today

Political , social and societal

That lead me into believing

Is it the world or myself that has gone mad

And at that point I think if I was on a Bus

I sincerely wish to get off at the next stop

Because it seems to me like

It is going in the complete opposite direction

And I must somehow be on the wrong Bus

Because the consequences are if I don't get off

And I might just end up being hopelessly

Lost forever after that

And although selfishly I may be

Alright and okay with that

As the Manic Street Preachers said 

If we tolerate this

Then out children will be next
