wants to be

my friend

& bless i’m happy

to lend out

a helping hand

if she bites that off

first chance she gets

tells me

it don’t say that

in the paper

on the evening news

says these strange ideas

you have

i find interesting

yet they can’t be true

because

just because

& here she trails off

having so much

to defend

her world view

never including me

or you

she’s done everything

right or as right

as she can comprehend

knows nothing of violence

horrors alive or dead

nothing must interfere

with those kind thoughts

in that pretty head
