Instrumental with SDRUM rhythm section. My mood on July 4 2022 captured in watching fireworks drowned by storm over Madison, following two years of pandemic, violent protests, shootings and the Supreme F/U Court striking down RvW.

Main Street Killing Fields / Sick of It

9:30pm, 4th of July, 2022
Dark, passing thunderstorms
What I felt.

Feeling unsettled, uncelebratory, 
lonely, unfocused, 
anxious about the future of life, 
about this nation's state.

Feelings reflected in the low grinding clouds of dark storms crawling 
over the distant city skyline,
lighting bolts, cloud flashes, 
attacking, slashing,
murky rain squelching fireworks displays.

They tried, but who was watching anyway? The finale, doused somewhere in rain cloud, 
puny compared to nature's violent power, 
No f*cks given for our human world.

No f*ks given for our pathetic society, 
sick with self hatred, other-hatred, 
tearing itself apart 
because some sick mofos 
can't think for their hate and rage.

The sickness in the soul, 
fear and loathing the voice 
driving their insane self-dealt right 
to kill, destroy, tear down 
some other person's life. 
Not people. Objects. Targets. 

F*king amendment. Supreme f*kups.
Foolish desperate clinging to anachronistic words, historical flukes, 
to justify hate-filled headfuls 
of deluded imaginings already in place,
only needing an imprimatur, 
a holier, truer, better than thou fantasy 
from the mists of a different time.

So sick of what this Place has become
so sick of the killing, the mayhem, 
the apathy, the inaction.
Lying liars making excuses,
Accepting slaughter for sake of cash?

Sick of regression, 
spit-filled reactionaries 
hate your type of freedoms, 
their liberties don't feel complete
when you don't agree.
Sick of it.
