The Outhouse is Just Around the Corner


It seems in the fight
To achieve and accomplish
We have forgotten whence we came
When the outhouse was just around the corner

While personal wealth and cars and homes
Are the mind numbing placebos
For an apathetic people
As the outhouse is just around the corner

While we watch with disinterest
Victims of a government gone mad
And assume there will be no consequences
While the door is slowly opening
To the outhouse around the corner

Emotional atrophy subsists
As we just could be less bothered
By our own peoples economic demise
Our head is being shoved force full
Into the outhouse around the corner

Corporate oligarchy reigns supreme
Stuffing our dreams and opportunities
Into meanial nothingness
While our path to the outhouse is paved with our backsides

Yet we sit and complain and then do nothing
Welcome to the Outhouse
