Larger Than Life

lyrics

Some holes
Gape so wide
They can
Not be filled

I see
One so big
It’s not
Visible

When I
Point it out
People
Ask me, “what?”

“Don’t you
Love this country?
Can’t you
Show your support?”

“I think not,”
I reply
When its form
Fills my eyes

Country is a big
Illusion built by masters
Used to silence us

Those whose minds are clear
Enough to see what happens
Behind the curtain

We are told to keep
Quiet with our gross dissent
Can’t be healthy, no

Come on, just let things
Continue as they have been
Perfect for rulers

Not so perfect for people
Whose livelihoods depend on
Work both mental, physical
Our opinions not present
On the table of debate
Why does history become
A story of rich, white men
Whose lives don’t even relate
To the 99%?
