Armchair

Armchair
Kolin Lovett - Calgary, AB - August, 2002

Caustic torment succumbs to inspiration
Mindless slaves creating expectation
Twisted terror leading the temptation
Unmatched circumstance, a cause of destination

Demonstrative exertion
Crumbling dismay
Breaking up the nation
Leading us away

And on the TV I see something best unseen
Man of power leading cowards to places in between
The rise of ritual becomes the new regime
And circumcision meets decision, breeds catastrophe

If I had my way...

Repulsive questioning without civility
Pointed answers betray credibility
Freedom used to terminate accountability
Public lies and sordid cries, host nobility

Magnetized division
Portraying unity
Destination yet unseen
No finality

And on the radio I hear clenching of the teeth
Man of wordplay leading swordplay out into the street
Demise of factuation causes us to bleed
And connotation meets attrition, yields disparity

If I had my way...
