It is easy to sing

griefcitymusicloveidentitydrumming

It is easy to sing

A love song

To enjoy the rhythm of a rhyme

Break into laughter

At a bad joke

Live in ignorance of the crime

Draw the dagger

From its scabbard

Drag the blade across the vein

Rip the bandaid

Off the bloody wound

Feed the sorrow

Feel the pain.

Nobody likes a smart-arse

I don’t say it to be droll

Fascists play footsie

In your kitchen

Nazis play footloose

With your soul.
