Riot Oct 2014
and she was in your sight
long enough for you to know your place*
your thoughts were captured in a box
your finger wishing for another taste
a perfect melody of two
a broad memory of few

**my thoughts are captured in a box while i burn in hell for you
Yesterday a phrase popped into my head
while I was working.
It was, "the illusion of plenty."
I work in a grocery store
and everyday I am shocked
at the number of people
I see on foodstamps.

The US should stop worrying
about foreign wars because people
in our own country
are losing the war
against poverty.

Please, come closer
I wish to feel you near
So I can whisper
Something in your ear.
Three little words I call a secret,
A commitment I don't dare to say
But if you press on my heart
You'll feel it anyway.

fingers write
fingers work
fingers type
fingers in skirt
fingers chewed
fingers picked
fingers blue
fingers make me sick
fingers on hands
not for holding
fingers like guns
always controlling
fingers dig
dig to the core
fingers are not only
just fingers anymore
