1
The world is sick and all of us in it
2
so fight the cancer
3
Fight the cancer
4
Don’t bow your head to it
5
The world is sick but it won’t die from it
6
so fight the cancer
7
Fight the cancer
8
Don’t bow your head to it
9
I’m afraid that I am me
10
and I had no say in this
11
I dare to be self-aware
12
when ignorance is bliss
13
I never do the things I want
14
I do what I don’t want to
15
I’m fortified for treachery
16
and hopelessly untrue
17
Remember when we were all small?
18
With stained-glass windows stretched up the walls
19
We listened to the words we could not understand
20
as they echoed through the church halls
21
They stacked us up conveniently
22
and fed us from their tables
23
They deduced what we should know
24
because we weren’t able
25
and as we grow we feel we know
26
the truth of where we’ve been
27
Satiated by their oaths
28
Dragged on the heels of holy men
29
Lately I have found frustration
30
among the incongruence
31
A movement of peasants and pacifists
32
drowning in patriotic affluence
33
I feel as though I should do something
34
but I’m staggered by the ramifications
35
They’ve baptized the empire into the church
36
and heralded it’s sanctification
37
Sometimes I feel as though
38
I’m taking place outside of myself
39
But I’m afraid that I am me
40
I am me, I’m me, I’m me
41
“Blessed are the meekâ€
42
succumbs to “Might makes rightâ€
43
“Turn the other cheekâ€
44
succumbs to pre-emptive strike
45
“Love your enemiesâ€
46
is fossilized beneath the frozen tundra
47
“Blessed are the poor in spiritâ€
48
devoured by “God bless Americaâ€
49
You file the children into the classrooms
50
Make them stand and say an oath
51
and when we ask “Should I love God or my country?â€
52
You smile and tell us “Both.â€
53
We’ve hidden the God we claim we serve
54
and driven him beneath the floorboards
55
but I can still hear this still, small voice
56
and I can’t take it anymore
