Smashing Glass

Smashing up our lives

smashing up the world,

voting right wingers into power,

inexplicably, I don’t know why,

who won’t do anything to save us,

who’ll do everything to make a buck for themselves,

and we all seem to be okay with that,

when from all report’s emissions 

are increasing at an alarming rate,

and the only thing we seem to be doing 

is smashing glass on the ground under our own feet,

Why? because we hate ourselves so much?

Who can say really?

This is just a guess. Truly.

Keep smashing that glass, if it makes you feel better.

If you think it makes the world sweeter.

But, I can’t see it, not really.

I just think that is kind of silly.

And where do you think that will take us in the end?

It’s hard to defend.

Broken glass lying on the ground under our feet.

The news gets more dire.

The leaders of so many countries are such liars.

And we all feel powerless, 

to stop the world going to hell before our eyes.

So, we smash glass all over the ground,

as such a tantrum is all we have left to make a sound,

against everything turning the world to shit,

so, we are told every night by the next news rating hit.

Little cogs in a big wheel, we’re now being told how to feel

Protests are legislated out of our reach…
