1. A child should never be taught to hate And human beings must never be insulated Or inoculated against the horrors of war 2. There is no liberation in this economy Debt is a slower and slightly greyer Variation of slavery No more cotton fields but prison labor Tell me where is our great modern emancipator? 3. You may be shocked But the truth is We are strange variants 4. There are no perfect promises Life guarantees nothing 5. Tears of laughter Veil tears of frustration Improper reflection On taboos and tragedies Burning cities And dying loved ones This is not where the Laughter comes from But it is where the laughter Is needed most

Fragments From Years Ago
1. A child should never be taught to hate And human beings must never be insulated Or inoculated against the horrors of war 2.

You may be shocked But the truth is We are strange variants 4. There are no perfect promises Life guarantees nothing 5. Tears of laughter Veil tears of frustration Improper reflection On taboos and tragedies Burning cities And dying loved ones This is not where the Laughter comes from But it is where the laughter Is needed most
