Fly in the Sky (Musical Poem)

Partial Lyrics:br br Fly in the skybr br I guess we shouldn’t be surprisedbr That all of this was authorizedbr After all drones do fly in the skybr Anything can be for the money to buybr Well for like Sam nothing ever changesbr He won’t do what an other arrangesbr Sam the man will remain a fixturebr Around this place it will be a mixturebr Of the privileged and the destitutebr Only the latter really ever gets the bootbr Can you fade into obscuritybr Is invisibility a securitybr Maybe the panhandler would knowbr As they started to hang out lowbr Under the overpass they put up a signbr They didn’t want to put up a shrinebr But once all the ribbons came downbr They didn’t care if he ran out of townbr When you see the tents on the fringebr Just remember whose rights you do infringebr When you support someone who would sweep asidebr Or try to hide it all on the backsidebr br The overhang man strangely cries it’s racismbr As he recalls the events that lead to the schismbr Other than that his message hasn’t changedbr Probably it has become even more derangedbr If you visit the same place, suppose he’s still therebr You’d be recommended to pull up a chairbr What possible future for him could be heldbr What storms around him could be quelledbr The curious onlookers still pedal on bybr And listen to the part of the presentation about whybr Everything you’ve been told is completely wrongbr Who knows how convincing this is to the throngbr The harm it does cannot be countedbr No matter what against it could be mountedbr The trust is eroded and confidence fracturedbr By a man who believes truth is manufacturedbr But look at the pictures again is the dancebr The dangerous part of the audience is in a trancebr br Let’s be honest the marchers will have to come out repeatedlybr And shout their slogans loud and heatedlybr They weren’t listened to the first timebr And the second time was little more than a chimebr When they were heard it was on the other side of a gunbr And the whole goal wasn’t to just stunbr If your someone who can’t even get grapplesbr You can blame it all on some bad applesbr A holistic view will not let them stay in a clumpbr Because to do so will miss out on their thumpbr Down the boulevards they must trekbr Proclaiming that society is but a wreckbr We can see that relations have not improvedbr The barons in charge remain unmovedbr Maybe you can say their case is fruitlessbr Because the people at the bottom are rootlessbr But don’t worry too much because they’ll returnbr Because for fairness and justice we all yearnbr br Even the badges put up memorialsbr And try to get their version in editorialsbr So those people will just keep marchingbr To the beat their backs will be archingbr The shirtless man with the sling lifts his handbr As the car sped by with lights on by his standbr The frustration can be puzzling but perceptiblebr Sure not everything in the world is acceptablebr But they will ask can we have some accountabilitybr For the people in charge for our stabilitybr Our anger doesn’t need to come in the form of powderbr It comes from our shouting getting louder
