Society's Mantra
June 14, 2011
Try to scream.
Try to shout.
Oh wait, you can’t
We’ve taped your mouth
-
We’ve stripped you of all your rights
You’re inhuman
You’re worthless
You’re no better than
the ground we walk on.
-
Shh, it’s alright.
We’ll hold you as you cry.
We’ll pretend it isn’t us;
we aren’t the cruel ones.
-
Darling, you’ll do just fine.
Take a deep breath.
We’ll make it all better.
We’re taking care of you
Just to tear you down again
