Spotlight from Postcards by the Sawtelles

Spotlight

That last shot crept up
And kept me up all night
Grinding my teeth
I'm nervous and uptight
Like a runaway car control is futile
What's with childhood friends
Who end up so brutal
Now somehow
Empathy's stranded
With a maxed out Visa
Watching the mob
Imprison Mother Theresa
Compassion has broken
Just like shattering glass
Only Snowwhite's exempt
From being blamed and harassed
Now somehow
Love won't answer the phone
While Hate's in the spotlight
Don't hold it against me when I'm
Still standing upright
Now somehow
The regime's intent
Couldn't be clearer
They are so full of rage
They can't look in the mirror
Their rewrite of history
Will be bloody fantastic
Claiming Jesus was drowned
By John the Baptist
Now somehow
