I Could Scream

I could scream at all the people

Who think the law is absolutely right

I could scream at all the children

Who don’t want to go to bed at night

I could scream at all the fathers

Who are dead beat dads

I could scream at all the mothers

Who abandoned their little lads

I could scream at all the priests

Who do not practice what they preach

I could scream at all the listeners

Who my words do not reach

I could scream at the companies

Who can’t make their products perform

I could scream at the teachers

Who think violence is the norm

I could scream at all the doctors

Who think they know what is always right

I could scream at all the gangsters

Who believe they always have to fight

I could scream at the politicians

Who have told us so many lies

I could scream at all the police officers

Who eat donuts and just swat flies

I could scream at all the musicians

Who can’t write a song without a curse

I could scream at all the drivers

Who turn without warning me first

I could scream till my voice was gone

About the many things in this civilization

I could scream till my face turned red

Who would notice in this nation

Since when are screams never heard

And people are never noticed

I do believe it is…….

Since we became too busy to listen
