Tunnel Vision poem

Walk home quickly, stare straight ahead
Ignore the bullets shooting dead
Step over fools dying for bread
Tunnel vision will keep you safe
 
Close your eyes to desperate cries
Jog on past the curdling sighs
Accept as truth clear government lies
Tunnel vision will keep you safe
 
Turn a blind eye to blatant fear
Keep your head down when anger rears
Avoid the flames and have a beer
Tunnel vision will keep you safe
 
Lock your doors and keep out the light
Switch off notions of wrong and right
Kill possibilities on all sight
Tunnel vision will keep you safe
SAY HELLO
