A dream with two sides One of peace one of death Carrying the bones of main street Washed by the baptism of oppression But somehow it doesn’t seem real Because it didn’t happen to you
A place with no mercy Even shame awaits permission to speak Where prayers vanish in disbelief They are trying to take you there To suspend your faith in mankind Is to find one unwilling to agree with you
The work has come undone The pages are no longer full of wonder To speak of history is to pretend to agree Once again those in the middle cannot hide And to walk on which side of the bullet Is the choice that now confronts you
