they have taught me fear
the money ones, the masters
the papers, the screens
a tone of voice
the elect
who won't pay their share
they have taught me
this far into my skin
it is a trick to make me sneeze
this knowing who's not in the mirror
hating the job
how I am to say?
to make a point?
to praise?
knowing the powerless go on
with their nothing
their nowhere to go
and no one to notice
or believe

DeleteYears out there alone
taught me fear as well
then to the heart of lawless
I knew I wasn't quite alone
true we had all been lost
but everyone who faced it
found their way home
