Foreign to me, wreakage of my heart
that lays at your feet cooling
down the fire that destroys cities
and harbours all of your ill.
We are a nation lost, nothing can forgive
us for being so inept at dealing
with the truths of everyday things
that we are so blind to see.
We are a nation lost, in the dimming years
of two parties that fight not
for the will of the people
but for the will of the argument.
We are a nation lost, in the midst
of a dream that pain cannot wake us,
lost senses, we see nothing, feel nothing
love nothing, but breathe all.
We are a nation lost, all but forgotten
to the world at large, left behind
by our pride, our fervor for
rightousness, our longing to belong.
We are a nation lost to one another,
the thought of holding hands losing
its edge among our thoughts of being
alone for the second the comercial is on.

More than a nation, I'm afraid . . .

Touche. What sad but true words.

Let my words fall first upon deaf ears before a closed mind...
