Echos - JLG Clifft

do we
crumble
so
easily?

what have
we

become? nothing

absolutely
fucking
nothing

eek
our lives
away
hour by hour
apathy
incarnate

apathy
eternally

makes me
want to
bring
a shotgun
to school

make canyons
though the
thickness
of my
peers

send some
buckshot
facts
through
forgetful
fools

make them
see
feel
leak
wince
twitch
die

by the
truths
of
the void
between

 what
we are

and what

we
should
be

i watch
them become
ashamed
of our culture

the

raputre

of a

revelation

ruptures

their
bodies

travels
from the barrel
faster than
sound

it is
the fastest
thing
in existence
whistling
through
corridors

it is
thought

revelation
that
becomes
revolution

once stuck
in their
cattle
thick
skulls

it'd be
worth it

if it causes
someone
to have
 an
opinion

i will
take the
consequence

savaged
by
SWAT

have my brains
become
plaster on the wall
they line
me up against

a noble
exit
a martyrs
exit
to become
nothing
like everything
we are

but
at least
i tried

we
shut off
a long
time ago

saw the world
hand us everything
we could ever
want

and then
snatch it
away

to give to the few
that didn't
need

and we
couldn't
go
on

had to
create
comatose
states
to exist in

too much
pain to
go on
like we had

when we
held hands
and embraced
in fields
before
vanishing
beneath the
big
black
boots

of power

we
were trampled
became
part of the
earth we
protested
on our
bodies
lost

but the
words
linger

our revelations
echo
eternally

i hear
them

you hear
them

we
hear
them

but
we
are
scared

we have
seen
what happens

we have seen
too much
to dare
any
more

we deafen
ourselves

turn up
TOWIE

tune out
the thoughts
our
culture
was founded
on

we're
dominoes

waiting
for a
revelation
to spark
a revolution

one of words
and reason
met with
the force
of the revolted
rulers
but not
beaten
by it

we win

it
takes
one

just
one

they can't
catch us
all

like they

caught
 me

can they?
