The Greatest Threat To The World Is My Indifference To My Own Self Destruction

I am wrong so often
I’ve been blind so many times
So many times I’ve failed to see
The other side
Absorbed by mine
A fool, a lie
A lullaby…

Instant
Gratification
Keeps me
Complacent
Constant
Pacification
Keeps me
Sedated
Wake me
UP

I am wrong so often
So many times I never know
So many times I fail to go
The proper way

Missed a ride
Absorbed by mine
A magic lie
My lullaby…

How many times have I known
While swimming in wrong as I go
And just let go
Let it go
Without knowing or caring
Or thinking

It goes
So wrong

The Awkwardness of Stranger Danger

xxxxxI can see it clearly on street level. I don’t even have to move. The faces approach whether I watch or not – but who can truly ignore such a scene. Choreographed stereotypes. It’s always the same. Like a wave in a sports stadium when the sidewalks get thick – the rise and then the nod, nearly fluid motion continuum, an unbroken chain.
