Things I Didn't Hear
I heard a song on the radio
About fucked up kids
I heard a speech about kids that were spoiled
And kids that didn't understand the real world
I heard stories about kids making mistakes
I heard about kids with technology
I heard a lie about a kid with ideas
I heard so much about kids and how kids are fucked up.
But I didn't hear anything about the rising prices of education
And the building inflation
I didn't hear about money spent on war
Instead of defense and progress
I didn't hear about politicians hiding behind religion
Even when their policies don't support loving neighbors
I didn't hear about power corruption
I didn't hear about feeding those same kids ideas and ideals like
Greed
Racism
Accusations
I didn't hear much about that.
But I saw it.
