Visions
Thinking on hypocrisy; looking to another day
Political bureaucracy; Judy’s killer gets away
Gus the cat watching in bewilderment
As the lines on my face grow more intent
With good reason, from concern and rage
Deep contempt the world is a stage
I wonder which fulfillment to fulfill
Exploring a high without a pill
Sunshine through a severed blind
Burning into my open mind
Are the anxieties of all my wants
A society without the pressure it flaunts
Live in the present all your days
To hell with the past, you'll be amazed
Turn and walk away from the downers of everyday
Walk straight and strong and proud and pray
You may inspire love into someone’s hate
