Seven years
I’ve spent trying to dodge the lies
living life from joy
to meaningless joy
filling the void with shameful highs
and pretending it’s the dream I kept inside
There seems to be a quiet understanding in American that our political system is broken. Less than half of the nation votes, many offices, especially on the local level, aren’t even contended and our rate of Senator re-election is higher than it ever was in Communist Russia.
I’m not a sports fan. I feel I should make the clear up front. I’m not the type to obsess over what season it is or isn’t, I don’t play fantasy sports and I don’t follow any teams, college or pro, with any zeal.
When we look at the evil deeds of other men, we work hard to distance ourselves from them. The most vile and evil individuals in our history lose their humanity, at least in our eyes, and become monsters, demons or worse.
