We are the silent ones
the shining examples of absolutely
nothing that anyone wants.
why don’t you come & dance with me?
we are family;
the worst you’ve ever seen,
so close your eyes! because:
we are the stupid ones
the animals who forgot their nesting place
our entire lives are done.
why don’t you stare into my face?
forget the forbidden taste,
this is the finished race,
unhand your weapons! because:
we are the helpless ones.
we have no home to claim as our own
in a world of endless amusement where everyone
is the silent & stupid ones, you’ve probably known
quite a few people who gave up before it was blown
so close the computer, raise up the telephone
to heaven, and pray that someone is listening.
