Poem of the Moment

[Intro]

The vulnerable pay the price of our ignorance
The powerful empowered by all of our insolence
Ten cents couldn’t change your mind
So two cents feels like a waste of my time

[Verse 1]

Righteous indignation fuels the unchecked machine
but if you squeeze your eyes there’s love in between
the licks of the flames
the kiss of death
the spit filled diatribes flying out with each breath
because there’s
truth in the rage over our freedom in a cage
maybe we’ll all wake up one of these days
to

[Chorus]
America the cancer
America the cause
America the shark
that’s unhinged at the jaws
America the clan
America the Cain
America the eagle
and the snake in pain

[Disc slide]

[Verse 2]

When you’re feeling all the pain you want to burn it to the ground
but when you’re feeling all the love that’s not the way it goes down
the phrase is rise up not mess it all up
so take a moment of pause to fill your cup
we need your best
we don’t need you in the trenches
we need your best
the love pouring out your chest

[Chorus]

America the cancer
America the cause
America the shark
that’s unhinged at the jaws
America the clan
America the Cain
America the eagle
and the snake in pain

[Verse 3]

Don’t think two gnomes can dome the truth
no cool, no checks, no full booths
one skirt, two draws, three flops down
four quills, no kills, five schmucks out of town
Hitting every banger like somebody rang her
opening doors to make friends with strangers
because you’re no cowboy a fake lone ranger
and living off the ranch there’s life in danger.

[Chorus]

America the cancer
America the cause
America the shark
that’s unhinged at the jaws
America the clan
America the Cain
America the eagle
and the snake in pain
