War

Between the world and me
Pressure-splitting seams
Imminent danger in the headlines

Glamour on the T.V.
Chasing fools gold
Growing cold
Drowning in anxiety

Lack of reason
Pushing symbols and clever phrasing
False notions of ritual, credentials, comfort, safety
Relentless and crowding

It's hard to breathe!

They'll give you the disease
Then they'll sell you the cure
The cure to set you free!
