on the occasion of the city having fallen to the forces of evil, and there being no hope left among the people Jul 30, 2022

in every person you hate
beats a heart the same as yours
gleams a mind the same as yours
and the moment you say they are different
you are lost

we carry so much tangled up inside our heads
make such a big deal
about a bunch of atoms

you want things to be different?
stop daring the world to get worse

your neighbors are starving
you haven't smiled at them in years


on the occasion of the city having fallen to the forces of evil, and there being no hope left among the people
