Something about fires evacuation and the bulldozers moving in
Something about all over again the massacre of the innocents is upon us
From the pages of the bible those of combat the whole thing again upon us
Something about doing the right thing and carrying out what has to be done
Something about the clothes of our inhumanity and again we are wearing them
Something about repeating over and over the same crimes against ourselves
Something about someone else’s problem that it’s never ours
Something about being displaced and forgotten and there’s no end to it
