War

Between the world and me
Pressure-splitting seams
Imminent danger in the headlines
Glamour on the T. V
Chasing fools gold
Growing cold
Drowning in anxiety
Lack of reason
Pushing symbols and clever phrasing
False notions of ritual, credentials, comfort, safety
Relentless and crowding
It’s hard to breathe!
They’ll give you the disease
Then they’ll sell you the cure
The cure to set you free!
