Saved one more time

Saved one more time
by a song
reminded one more time to scream and rage
with joy and push
I am never going to give up, never going to stop being in love with life
even when I'm not

all the traffic turning left
all the blinkers beating off time
all the art i didn't make
all the goldfish the cat ate
the hawk eating the squirrel in the tree
all the times i didn't tell you i loved you
all the fat cells on your body you hate
all the life you gave up
when you hung your self above the ping pong table
all the fucked up roads and thoughtless design
all the greed
based on fear
all the facts I hate
all the work you long to do
to show that you care
that you matter
all the bus routes cut
all the teenage boys with brain damage from falling off bikes
or diving into shallow water or driving
lost in the wild feeling of drunk
now men
all the severed spirits
who shot and killed
in rage, pain or fear
or faith
all the prisons filled
by rules made for money
all the lonely people sitting in their houses right now
wondering how they got there, where they went wrong
every lie sold
every pale blue plastic tube of deodorant
every color that once was glorious and now is drab
all the birds chirping to declare territory
that sound like joy to me.
