Elucidating Questions

Apparently I’m responsible for fifty years of democracy crumbling

Never mind I’ve been screaming about all of this since I was 16

A child

Who immediately saw their worth in a business that was taking in tens of thousands of dollars a day

When I made $100

Who paid attention to the weather and noticed the differences creeping in

A child dragged in

No, apparently all my screaming has been for nothing

And it didn’t happen

Ah

These passing humans

How they irk me

I am apparently “The Left”

Besides being left handed, and left bodied

I do not believe morality is linear

I do not believe wanting to make this world a better place for everyone puts me in a direction

This whole “sides” thing

Who came up with this crap?

There are so many things that should be achieved for humanity and democracy should be about trying to figure out in what order those achievements need to be completed

Not selling the country to the highest bidder and shaping everything to their whims

Why did they call it left and right when it has so clearly become right and wrong?

I don’t know

My struggling has made no changes

And you demand of me action I cannot make

What do you want me to start a one person protest?

Yeah I’ll just go sit on the legislature lawn and be like

I’m protesting

That’ll help

Someone free me from these shackles

This society is a cement block around my ankle

In this ocean I am drowning in

Imagine if I was someone?

There are so many someones in this world that aren’t doing anything

Like him

Why did you lock me in this cage so far away from every person and tell me to sing until they gathered round?

歌っても歌っても誰も来ないよ

No matter what note

And then you send these passerby to poke me and demand I sing louder

Why do you all stare so and expect more?

Be better

Every human screams at me

But every better is a different shape

I won’t change my shape for you people anymore

Just this song

I am exhausted
