Inner Minute



need a reality bulletin,
turned on cnn,
heads nod in unison,
going to war, again?
they say its nothing i should worry about,
people after me,
say, "i kill their society",
state their hipocracy,
got their own decree,
is it the fear inside or just easy to shout,
embrace the lord today,
touchy feely play,
pray it goes away,
shalt thou have enough to pay (amen),
'confession' means you have no right to holdout,
can't even get the guy with majority rule,
equal treatment to get shot by some fool,
reality-based crazy cool,
still... the medias tool,
what's the point of credit when you ain't got no clout....
