I have no empathy left in me
For vain cries and Stockholm syndromes
And all the sleepy multitudes
Who slumber through turbulent times
Too numb to feel themselves succumb
To pressures that keep weighing in
From both the outside and within
You're hard pressed, distressed
Your skepticism and cynicism serve
To mask your total helplessness
You say you've lost belief
You see a future marred with grief
Eager to bring about a change
But instead you turn to seek relief
In numbing substances that cloud
Your will to further stay unbowed
You make it a point to kick, accuse and yell
But in effect you sit back and feel sorry for yourself
You find yourself declaring war
But your battle cry is quick to turn
Into a mere "Yes, Sir"
