Searching

I find myself searching
searching for a stage to release my rage
but the doors are shut, nailed tight, whether by fear
or ignorance they won't let me in to speak the words
that must be said to raise the dead headed fox news junkies
that veg out in front of their tube
thinking that astro lube is the answer to lifes problems
to understand that their life has more meaning than that

Maybe its me, I can't see the sense in SUV's
ATV's or all that other s___ that numbs the mind with
adrenal spikes and turns their minds to think that
american idol has any meaning whatsoever

I grew up in an age when heroes were real
they didnt look for a paycheck
they played their game for the game
I could get behind that

Clemente was my hero,
not because he had a six figure salary like the prima donnas of today
because he gave his all - for the game
was he a sucker, a dupe, did the owners get over on him
or was he the spirit of competition
sent here to inspire

He was real to me

So my quest goes on, searching for purity,
efforts that say, its not about the money
its about the game
