sweet nothings whispered
through the lips of unwanted company,
trembling on the ears of ghosts
and past memories of later days,
words that break and collapse,
words that you dare not say,
sweet nothings whispered
through the lips of unwanted love,
thoughts that race
into the dawn of a fallen day,
images that cast a shadow,
images that plague your mind,
the world is dead and gone,
culture that we once embraced
now turned into pornography and hate,
nothing here but empty space
with the crushing sound of boots,
the burning books
and desecration of art,
right wingers' complaints
and censored TV.,
told only what they want us to know
while the truth goes unnoticed,
turn off your TV.
and embrace the world with an open mind,
escape the stupidity that is America.
'Just gimme some truth...'
Canada is looking better and better.
