Build A Boat

Build A Boat

Murphy's Law has broken my heart

we're down and out, and ripped apart

and picking pieces up, by will

while breathing in a merciless chill

Our hands are reaching wide and far

while others are held, up to the stars

Happenings that shape our youth

try to protect the beastly truth

We're labels, labeled jars of jam

bowing down to Uncle Sam

opening up our mouths, for help

then silenced by a pharmacy shelf

We seasoned soldiers are victimized

by textbooks written for the lies

that blackmail us and keep us down

to keep the same heads with a crown

those who are different are a threat

so they'll be drugged

to pay a debt

Why not kill two birds with one stone?

whom have been proven accident prone

by strategically placing booby traps

so we can't touch the top, but lapse

Into a sea of discredited folk

where some may drown and some may choke

I will not fall! I'll build a boat

then paddle out to find you
