Grey C.E.L.L. - No Hymn

We've got no hymn for the vast uncertain constants in change
you're caught burning books banned before the writ
only having eyes for an evolving truth
appropriated of ancient wisdom bullshit
fed short term in soundbites
of fear soaked seething outrage
no hymn
here be nothing in margins emptied
here be everything in ink bleeding
here is wanting
here lies us
here be dragons unsafe at home

They buried the hopeful today
The youngest shredded to maintain political reins
And they’re pulling the rest of your life
While wailing against their own crimes
Dysphasic empty repeated lines
“It Doesn’t Feel Like There's Anywhere Safe Anymore, Sometimes”*
And they’re pulling the rest of your life
While wailing against their own crimes
You say
This isn’t
The time to establish the blame
Repeat
Your last proclamation
And then it happens all over again
They buried the youngest today
Raising funds before ever speaking names
And they’re pulling the rest of your life
While wailing against their own crimes
Now who….is hiding now?
* Ryan Borowski, 10 dead in Boulder. King Soopers shooting, March 22, 2021

they should mean nothing to me
yet still I fight
to just compare myself
up against the standards and practices of myself
when will I fucking learn

violent systems that drain our souls of options to bleach out the thought process in the journey for capital, a ladder to climb. step on the fingers of those below. we want it all without conscious acknowledgment. that exhaustion that you're feeling is by design, the distractions that we feel are set to time. when enough is not enough we're at the edge of giving up.
