Blood bathes the streets
Screams fill the morning air.
But not here
But not now.
We sit by our loved ones
As we watch the evening news.
We decry the state of the world
From our relative saftey.
A father rapes his child
While the mother is high on crack.
But not here
But nor now
We live our little lies
Hide behind our fantasy lives.
We don't acknowledge the truth
We avoid what we can't understand.
Our son's turn to drink
Hiding their hurt in a bottle.
Our daughter's turn to pain
Hiding their emotions on their flesh.
Religions cry out to us
Telling us they have the truth.
Accept jesus into your heart
Helps you ignore the beggars on the street.
It's crashing down around us
Our carefully built wall.
We can't ignore the pain
That our society has created.
Judgement day's not coming
Judgement day's not coming soon enough.
