Farewell Letter
Anytime you put your interest above others, I'm not shocked by the move.
Put your needle to my record of brotherhood, it will never find the grove.
Cupped ears is a good idea, but they won't let you hear the silent notes.
Some things are flame retardant, not so much the bridges, but more so the boats.
It's funny what a pretty penny will do to the enlightenment that people like to profess.
Hypocrisy is inexcusable until caught, then comes the silique about being a beautiful mess.
Let them take the children and mothers in the cover of night.
Our taxes are low and the gas prices are finally just right.
All those fair speeches around the camp fire were really to make our selves feel good.
None of those conversations had any baring on actually doing the things we should.
Let's take psychedelics and wax eloquent about dissolving stifling social orders.
Just as long as we can undo that hippy stuff with a ballot that renews hatred and biased boards.
I can't tell anyone who they ought to be, neither is shaming anyone a real solution.
Just understand that my dialogue and friendship is not an article of the constitution.
No one has an inalienable right to my time, mercy, or affection.
We now live in a country where phenotypes are the subject of federal inspection.
Many Christians think that we must unify under some pretense of being faithful to the LORD.
Yet these are the same Christians that will tell you how Jesus did not come to bring peace but a sword.
You want us to be strangers to each other, well I say let the games begin.
Many boxers think the fight is all about skill, but it's also about having a good chin.
The people you never wanted in the first place are really fun to throw away.
However a funny thing happens when the ones you love best don't want you to stay.
Let's all pretend we didn't know this thing was going to end badly.
The burst fault lines can not always be filled up with asphalt sadly.
Criminals and bigots rejoice, your hour is come upon land.
America is like the Beatles, too good to be true, so we broke up the band.
