Drifting out over the ocean
there was only one cloud
there was only one sea
becoming lost once again I am
nearly gone
afraid all alone that some one
again to me will
hurt me for punishment sake
our way of life in America
the norm
where you put people in places
knowing that if their minds are harmed more
then you can harm them legally
until they can't read
or write
or converse intelligently
or make a contribution to society
I am filled with shame
that you think that this is normal.
