that pill

I
I know things could be worse,
but i think they could be better.

I don't prescribe
to that "this is the way it is
so live with it" pill.

I do not swallow it whole
with a glass of water.
I don't go to that doctor.

My brain's
not that
numb.
I'm not
that
dumb.

Don't
swallow
that pill.

Realize.
Open your eyes.
Open the blinds.

Things could be better
than they are
in this world.

Don't take
that
fucking
pill
anymore.

Things aren't changing
the way they could
because
change isn't welcomed.

II
Instead we fix
problems
the same way
again and
again.

1,000 dead,
6,000 wounded.

This is another Vietnam.
Another mistake.

Are the american people
this stupid?

And
who
are
you
voting
for?

There's trepidation
in the nation
Arrogance.
Separation.
America is a bully
America is a folly
America is not the world police.

We think how to win each time
is to fight with brawn.
We're wrong.
We're strong but gone.

Take that pill.
Get ill.

I won't.
