Dilated pupils twitch, br From one peripheral standpoint br To the other. br I am reminded of a fly. br Caught indoors. br Striking the window, br Curious as to why the outside is a sight br And not a touch. br br I am telling the br “Best Minds” br Intelligence is not conducive br To childhood wonderment. br br That's a choke in the ambition to age. br br When the Proper Authorities br Break the door off the rusted hinges br And scatter splinters on panicked mindsets, br Save a shout for enslavement. br br For a life of failed opportunity br And poverty br Will soon grip the heart br Like handcuffs on trembling wrists. br br I am not paranoid. br I am afraid. br br Our civilized world gifts punishment to the suffering. br It hands acquittals to rapists because talk is cheap. br br The Public Defender is the cleverest investor br Of them all. br br Directing lives to help pay for wars and censorship. br br It's complicated, br But I am not saying br They “won.” br br “They” br Just have the upper-hand. br But we have right br Exemplified by justice. br br Someday the State Capital br Will expose itself as to what it truly is, br An opium den. br br *title is a reference to The Libertines br Time For Heroesbr br A.j.
