Get Real

the world means something different
to them than it means to us

people who have never

watched a life slip away
don't understand

their nightmares are dreams
our nightmares are memories

re-lived
in technicolor

their world is safe
their world is sane
 
we know the truth
our world is neither safe nor sane

the world is
out to get us

disaster disease hatred or war
will get us in the end

we all die

whether we are aware
whether we are ready or not

the world is out to get us
we all die one way or another

that is what we have in common
death makes us human
