In Protest
The Great Escape
Jack Piatt
I protest the protestor
I am for what you are against
I am against what you are for
It isn't about right and wrong
It is a statement
an understanding
You protest animal rights
as children starve
You protest war
yet you're racist
You protest explicit lyrics
forgetting your explicit past
You pick and choose
what you protest
You sit on a pew
...religiously
just signing in
preparing your resume for God
Look God, see I was here this Sunday ...
How pathetic
You miss the point
as you point your finger
at the world and its injustice
As a blind man points to the sun setting
You miss it
It completely flies over your head
A plane full of people who get it
It kills you
Kills you to know there is so much more
hidden
unrevealed to the likes of you
Thank God there is some justice
