Apart At The Seems

Spelling intentional

Wake up, check the T.V. for what else has happened,

feel on edge and scared of both the real and imagined.

The latest disaster is the only new news,

see terrorism experts sifting through rubble to try to find the clues.

Things are scary enough without the constant drumbeat

of death and destruction played by the media--we're all dead meat.

Mankind's coming Apart at the Seems--disaster on a loop,

over and over, and every network acts like they've got a scoop,

when what they show is the same as every channel--

a never-ending drama--out-shocking and hammer the sensational.

After watching for awhile, look for a short rope and a tall ladder,

so you can take the last swan dive, cause you're feeling sadder

than you've ever felt--you feel like there's no way out,

so full of despair, hopelessness, and black doubt.

Our world has darkened. There is no rhyme or reason and it feels like we are stuck in the quicksand of the chaotic. There must be a way out, but somehow we must find it together.

Yep, darkened for sure--and there must be a way out, like you said, but it seems too many are looking in the exact wrong spot, and believing in the exact wrong man.
