"Just Us"

We all know what Adolph knew
We just don't admit it
The killer      or be killed
          some choice
The ink in society's bathtub
          dying every body the same
          blood color
Frightened souls with hearts gleaning acceptance
         in movement
         the beasts of id gnawing mind flesh
         stabbing the self to pieces of the other
         for a nod or a look of approval
         or sense of safety in
         they won't hurt me if i behave like them
         wishful thinking
No one to blame no criminal
         just us
daah
