focus everybody!

it's not clear-

you'll have to grab another child to save

quickwhileeveryoneslooking

laugh    like its okay

like you're not buring up inside

like you dont care that you have to touch the poor

like you cant feel their filth through your designed costume



even the holy stare

even the homeless smile



                      the educated ask you to lunch

                       the profesionals drug your drinks



                                                               ­                   your protection needs payment
  
                                                      ­                                   so you charge the going rate

                                    and they pay

                                                         and you pay

                    



it's equilibrium

                but without the balance
