Do I need you
Sweet agony past
Have you been my
Reason for the trip?

Do you hold my hand
And guide me through the present?
Do you chain my feet as I drag you through today?

Eat up my mind and
Leave me starving for some
Other thought.

Lies in the past
Lies in the present
Where then is there any
Truth at all?

Who is this clown
Without his makeup
Is it government?
Is it politics?
Is it god?

Can you look him in the face
or through your television screen?

Starving man
In the midst of obesity.
