The Hurting Kind
I wish I didn’t have to hurt you
To escape the way you hurt me
But the world will keep spinning
I wish you all the best

But the world will keep spinning
I wish you all the best

Rusted iron bands.
China teapot atomised.
Shackled electrons.

Kabul's airport by Kabul town
Drive the highway and draw the sword
Kabul's airport teaming and there's half a million screaming
Drive 'o Kabul highway in the dark"
-- apologies to Rudyard Kipling

In War Times
A war on the mind
Never mind
Mindless
Our world
Isolation imposed
Locked in the fear chamber
Questioning that
will make you
the enemy of
the new normal
