Under the Skin


Finding laughter among the darkness
Catching infectious smiles, voices that reciprocate,
Beyond the bullshit, echo chambers of deceit
Not offering a glimmer of light arraigned
Promises abandoned, broken smashed 
Hatred stemming from politics
World leaders heartless and unsympathetic
Fragments of exhaustion fluctuating
lets keep moving through regardless 
Each of us a cell of awareness 
Imperfect yes and incomplete
Genetic blends, with uncertain ends
On a fortune hunt that's far too fleet
We all bleed the colour red
Black, white, gay or straight
We can start revolutions
Turn everything on it's head
Find a unity of breath.
