Are You Here?

Where am I that I look into a lake of blood
That constantly bursts its own banks.

Where are you that stand by and watch it fill,
Has the caring, the love stopped?

Where are we that stand looking at each other
I only saw someone I want to see.

Where can we look for an end to blood letting
Are we too late to care – who will tell us?

Are you here … reading these lines of woe
Or are we watching a TV world of soap

Where everything means nothing
And nothing means everything.

Go tell it on the TV
Go tell it on the wire
Go tell the people, it’s easy,
Let them not aspire.

The animals laughed in two by two, hurrah hurrah
As a someone was killing you, hurrah hurrah
Then someone killed me
Then someone killed them
Then someone killed …..
