On A Path To Destruction

On A Path To Destruction

Your tears and my tears

your anger and my anger

are worth nothing

if you or I

can’t look into our souls

and into each others eyes

and say together you have worth

your anger and my anger will only be

loud noise

that fills the air and the streets

if your vision or my vision is incapable

of seeing injustice

then our tears are only temporary

and are worthless

then what drips from our lips will dry up

and be only a moment of lip service

and you and I know

there have been years upon years of lip service

if you or I can’t really see the inequality

then there is no use of either you or I

too march in the street

there can only be a continuation

and an escalations

and a nation that that is destined to go up in flames

you and I have to reach down deep

no one is exempt
