Kit Kelen #571 - they have taught me fear


571
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

    1. Years 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
