A Reality. It has become A Parody, 
of itself. Loudest mouths, without 
reason, are merely SHELLS. I can TELL 
that this is NOT going to be EASY. 

EVERYONE I see is TRYING to BUILD 
up Their Walls and SHUT themselves 
OFF from EVERYTHING. Don't you SEE 

The PAIN that it BRINGS? Reality. 

It's become A Parody, of itself. Crashing 
Car. Bee-line. Wayward. Reckless. CAR 
CRASHING through CROWD of PROTEST. 

Do you THINK that makes YOUR SIDE The Best? 

And even so, it is NOT Violence, that 
we WANT. Don't be CAUGHT within 
The Talons. The Talons of 
GRIEF and UNEDUCATED DISBELIEF. 

Reality. 
It's become A Parody, of itself
