Working off the Past

Do you ever think we'll see
Affirmation of our democracy?

Horror
Theft
Atrocity

A penance overdue
A debt worth collecting

Structure
Complacency
So defensive
A trait of the guilty

Recurring themes
Of fallen bodies
Mental fatigue
A growing majority

To look away
Deny their world
It's not enough to exist
We must think beyond ourselves

Cut the red tape
Bring to light
Stone age traditions
Running out of time

Refuse to feel
Refuse to see
No hope for peace
Without our reckoning
