The Superficiality Song G.F.E.McGuiness

A new tune for the want to be's An old air from the bow to me's Learn it If you wish to please. It's a simple potent song With lyrics that duck right from wrong. Here is how it goes: I crossed a girl face down in mud She turned her head, all red with blood "I've been raped and beaten badly Help me.", she expired, sadly. With a superficial nod A fellow frowned and kept right on, "After all it she had a choice To simply not emit her voice. And thus have learned to get along. Why can't we learn to get along?" As one is smug, another cries. One sucks life from one that dies. And through cabal the only wrong Is that the hurt don't get along. But what of People flogged Of houses robbed Of systematic blocks to land To jobs The constant drumming mocks The gerymandered carvings And orchestrated starvings? It's not about religion ! See? But privileged class insanity.
