what is obscene
and beyond the pale

the killing of the world
the torture of little children
consensus without shame

political correctness
looks like Dick Cheney
acts like George Bush

outrage entertains
and the dead pile up

nothing happens every day
more talk and wait
we need the process

the dead pile up
who will take care of them

process is everything
the only way to hope
a dream within a dream

history becomes lifeless
the future has no credit

let us thank our God
let us go with the flow
let the dead rest in peace
