Quietly I press my fingertips lightly against the windowpane

Contemplating the chaotic world that lay beyond the glass

Strangers trying to convince themselves that they are sane

But with objective observation that thought shall come to pass

 

Society steadily moved beyond the frayed edge of normality

Excepting everything that they see and hear from lunatics on TV

Insanity and violence the talking heads tell us is just our commonality

Leaders pushing agendas that don’t fit with a rational sense of reality

 

Common sense has no value when you feel that you’re above the law

Lawyers will tell you it’s not about truth or justice it’s who has the cash

People will watch the facts unfold and will still deny everything they saw

Give them a buck or two and they’ll spew out any scripted trash

 

The people standing behind their windows staring at the world

Knew the degradation of the people was not a matter of if but when

That time we know has come; our nation’s freak flag has been unfurled

Tattered sanctums hold the few that remember life before it got so thin

 

The influencers of the nation stand at the precipice of greed and hate

Preaching intolerance for the truth as they nurture the bold-faced lie

All people are free to do anything they want, on this there is no debate

It’s perfectly fine and normal behavior say the insane with a gleam in their eye
