At the End of The Tunnel

Why should I care? Hovering over the past in such despair

Like flies hovering over roadkill somewhere

Elevating myself over this state of mind quite a dare

Would you rather I lay my soul bare?

There’s a dim flicker at the end of the tunnel

Glowing eyes of predator that needs to be muzzled

Self-luminescent eyes that seem to be puzzled

So many emotions to be examined and funneled,

There’s an icy mist in the air but it’s not the weather

It’s the cold hearted mercenaries to which we are tethered

Treasonous politicians who should be tarred and feathered

They simply oppose the truth altogether,

This bizarre light show of song and dance

An opera of deception and ill-fated romance

Man so self-destructive yet convinced he’s advanced

I wonder salvation resurrection is there even a chance?

A history of foggy misconceptions and staged events

Not much of it seems heaven sent

The cost of living suspect as you raise my rent

The human condition almost impossible to be content,

“Die young and leave a beautiful corpse”, they say

Death and taxes the only certainty, come what may

The dog eat dog world upon which we stay

We’re just too conceited to take a knee and pray,

Wolves at the end of the tunnel with glowing red eyes

Of course the sheep never recognize their disguise

We are led by the blind who should have been sterilized

They toppled a great nation that was compromised.
