REALITY CHECK

What was stolen? Past and future -
Taken in an obscene flash of steel.
Half-formed casualties - toys for the kids.
Fire and water
Drown and burn.
Half-formed casualties - toys for the kids.
Fire and water,
Drown and burn.

No more despair
The ugly truth is out there
With a will
Of it's own -
Fluttering 'round
Waiting to be found -
Truth, my friend,
Has a life of its own.

The grotesques
Slavering with unfettered sickness -
Rushing to participate
In the feast;
Frozen tableaux,
Frozen pictures,
From a nightmare
Called reality.

Like grass through concrete,
Knives through butter,
Bullets through flesh
From some raving nutter!
The truth will out,
The penny drop,
And it cannot -
Cannot be stopped.
