So alarming!

(song lyrics-- in progress, just a draft)

1.
when will all the violence cease
when will our bodies release
so we truly find peace

ch.
there is no excuse for any
kind of abuse
most of what we have learned
has been so obtuse

2.
all of that self harming
has been so alarming
it must be time now to turn the page
melt all the superficial rage
find time to unlock the
invisible cage
placed around the heart from the start
felt necessary on BART
felt necessary to put the horse before the cart
I may have asked for you to intercede
it is not the way of love
for you to pretend to feed

ch.
