Semisentient hum

Simon, are you married to work again?
Does your wife stay up all night
Wondering where you've been
Wondering who you've seen
But you know where you're heading
Little wonder everyone
Only gets in the way.

Annibel, shake another hand
Smile and breathe another lie
You now understand
And it's driving you mad
Isn't it so sad
That progress get's you nowhere
If you're tethered to the land.

Little boy, on your bicycle
Through the rubble strewn streets
Do you wonder where the cars have gone?
Or if they'll be back again
And why the nights run so long.
In the silence hum your song
Between the chorus of the guns
Just to keep the monsters at bay.

Anthony, lawyer proffessing
Another knowitall,
Standing round confessing
To all you've been molesting
Their very way of life
Just another way to strike out
Against the looming void
You always seem so small.
