It feels like society is struggling to get back on it's feet, and as things return to semi-normal we are suddenly seeing a spike in violence. Why is this? Could it be that normalcy, this thing we longed to return to, was already broken and fundamentally FUBAR before all of this began? When we fail to care for each other, to protect each other and to build a society that reflects those values of empathy and compassion we end up in this mess where our world is full of cracks to fall through. Vilifying one another, hating our fellow citizens and blind to the fundamental issues that pollute our institutions and color how we feel about one another.
The only way through is together, the only way to overcome propaganda is as a collective. We cannot be so naïve as to think that those who want to exploit us have our best interest in mind. Until we wake up the brutality and violence will continue...
Bright and Blue and Beautiful
It's all cracks
Through the middle faded down
And we're still falling through
Trying to stay lost
The looking glass still fogged
Out of trouble out of mind
Silence still is golden
No news is good news you will find
Reminisce on these regrets
Still stalled out in my head
Spinning these wheels in mobiles
Circles in cycles of unrest
The fundamental difference
Is I'd catch you every time
Let them all just live forever
God can sort them out just fine
Let the choice for cruelty come
I'll choose coward every time
Let the call come out for dreamers
Leave the gentle their limelight
Dark vines licked with moisture
Staying tangled at the roots
Of a distant stumbling thunder
Lightning bolts begin to shoot
Hands up and cheeks soaked
Streets choked
Heat strikes and heat stroke
In a time without heroes
The truth is I can use this
Emptiness between the lines
Called potential chaos essential
To the order I'd define
Get the poison from the precincts
Let the hearts sync with the minds
Let the call come out for healing
Leave the truth by candlelight
Suck the air in by the lungful
For every moment another name
Silence is no longer golden
Violence is so familiar a face
Come down the altar
Your compliance is assured
By the Priests with smoking collars
Shielded by shining crosses
Sycophantic geese step to war
To protect and to serve man
Lap dogs licking at imperial boots
The only thing black they truly love
Bright and blue and beautiful
Cut them all down, let them burn
On camera no-knock but no lock-up
Bodies all just hit the floor
In a world where no one cares
It's all cracks we just fall
Through the middle fading down
Trying to stay lost
