You say prayers on bent knees
Asking please heal the wold
But if you coul see what I see
You would beg for it to end
The only hope being we could begin again
Because there is no antidote for the venom
That is slowly killing the body of man
Indifference has dug it's claws into our spirits
We're not blind to the hatred or evil
That has been bred into this world
We simply don't care
Mommy and daddy teach us that it is a creul world
That evil is the nature of man
and one man can't make a difference
Just hold your head low and mind your business
And we listen , worst yet we believe
So when we see a woman getting her *** beat
By her so called man
Or an innocent at the business end of the bleu flame
We just watch
Stand and point and watch
Glad that it's not us
And when it is we wonder why noone will help
It makes me want to reach out
To urge you who are my family
To take up arms against these evils.
But what would be the point,
Yuo don't care
so I just wait for the end.
 
That was ...

" Indifference has dug it's claws into our spirits "

- My eyes watered a little while reading that line -

It makes me think of self. - How i've just
turned the other cheek and kept it moving a few times --
because of the few times i stopped and got involved
it has made matters worse.

We've ALL seen the guy who was just tryin
to help the situation get shot - ( Scott Larock ).

We've all become, not pacifists or cold hearted , -
but so aware of the unpredictable essence of drama
that we have to care about OUR OWN safety b-4
others , IT'S SAD we can't trust each other to look out
for each other.

If we could destroy and rebuild it all - that would be ...

that would be it.
