IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE
Hiroshima; Nagasaki;
abe Lincoln in Kentucky.
a lot can happen in the blink of an eye.
two-hundred years; emancipation proclamation.
365 days, the earth completes its rotation.
9/11; one day all those people died.
one year; one-million veterans denied.
a lot can happen in the blink of an eye.
blink once and a train derails and crashes.
twice and you miss the bodies collapsing.
again and the bullet flies through their head.
another blink a- oh shit YOU'RE dead.
Daytona 500; the cars fly by.
blink and you miss it; photo finish- SURPRISE!
in the theatre watching movies you never think twice.
in just one blink a thousand frames will fly.
a lot can happen in the blink of and eye.
my heart lies broken in front of my eyes.
the one time I blink; a hundred lies.
a stone soldiers lament is no surprise.
while the world stands and stairs to the heavens will climb;
behold the horrors before our eyes.
one-hundred babies born, a thousand others die.
atoms explode and humming birds fly.
a guilty man walks free; innocence is fried.
a child in a dumpster is left to die.
a girls innocence is stolen; the baby is nigh.
a lot can happen in the blink of an eye.
storms destroy cities and comets will fly.
earth and moon dance around you and I.
there will always be suffering; dear god, "why?"
time heals all wounds; word to the wise.
a black man is president....
conviction without no evidence.
liars takin' peoples innocence.
crime against legal immigrants.
tax fraud and belligerence.
WHAT THE FUCK HAVE WE COME TO?!
lust for greed and sex for food.
life based of capitalism and reckless ignorance.
rivals taking their final stance.
left and right merging to one final direction.
forget the compass rose; men following their erection.
in one blink senseless violence leads to war;
women get pregnant, men walk out the door.
when two women raise better kids than traditional bullshit,
the past is lost, this is it.
this generations respect, A TOTAL LIE.
but a lot can happen in the blink of an eye.
maybe one day we can find peace.
one day we can cry.
we can look back and laugh
just you and I.
when we see all that we have done;
the things wrong and right.
one day I can finally blink
and we can see the light.
a lot can happen in the blink of an eye.
