Meet the Nation

Originality,
Meet the Nation
a wild bunch easy to tame
with tactics of fear and isolation

Beware of good riddance
beware of careful deeds
trust no one until the flood comes,
then you’ll trust no one indeed

We heave for passion,
wrench for humility; yet day after day

some pray
while others kill
some read
while others chill
some dance while other fight
for a freedom they cannot name
some stay silent
some stay in shame

Wherever we run, whoever we hold
Let someone tell you you’re beautiful
Let the world make you old
