Adrift on a Rail

Adrift on a Rail

Haunted
By the shadows in your rearview
Hunted, stunted
Taunted
By the ones who loath and fear you
Yet still undaunted

Wanting to see
Needing to feel
Longing to know
What is for real

On we roll
Adrift on a rail

Cut through the fog
Look there behind your blindspot
Light in the dark
A flash of hesitation
Frozen in time
Lost in introspection

Haunted
By the shadows in your rear view
Taunted
By the very same who fear you
Hunted
In the dark no spark can’t park keep driving striving soon you’ll be arriving

Destination: contemplation
Price gouging but they call it inflation

Wasting talent and resources too
Guess what? They don’t really care about you!

Divide and conquer
But math ain’t cool
It’s not by chance that we all hated school

Cowed and docile
a fatted calf
Divided we sit
While the think tanks laugh

Loving your neighbor
Would eff up their plans
So they have to keep us fighting
About guns and Mexicans

Picking your pocket with eyes off the prize
Got more in common
With those you dispise
Than you realize

On we roll
Adrift on a rail

Wanting to see
Needing to feel
Longing to know
What is for real

Haunted
By the shadows in your rearview
Hunted, stunted
Taunted
By the ones who loath and fear you
Yet still undaunted

Wanting
Needing
Longing
For Real
