She says,
she’s never gonna die.
She says,
she exists in different times
and when she’s done here,
she’s just gonna disappear,
and I want to believe
she isn’t lying.
He says,
he’s seen it all before.
He says,
after 20 years
of fighting the same war,
the broken parts of men
don’t get healed again,
but most folks
don’t even notice,
anymore.
They say,
things they don’t understand.
These days,
they don’t try to comprehend.
They say,
“Stay in your lane”.
while the world goes insane,
and they bury their heads
in the sand.
