Swallowing Ourselves
As I look out in the world,I see the tear stained eyes,of a nation torn by hatred,of a nation torn by lies.I read the paper,watch the news.I hear about the accidenta girl killed by too much booze.During school I hear it,'Fag' jokes echo through the hall.No one sees how deep it's gotten,until after we take the fall.We've become infatuated with violence,what's better than sex to sell?Prostitutes pass along desease,as the rest of us help furnish their hell.Priests and sinners pray alike.'Oh God help us to live!'They'll pray for you too,but it depends on how much money you give.Our precious world is swallowing itself,with the crimes that we commit,we're killing tomorrow.When will we see lives we choose to forfeit?
