ode to supremicists ( or I wish) by Dave Orestes 1
published on
so many misguided s
"supremicist" groups around the world,throughout time...all lead to senseless violence/destruction. ..none last forever and are replace by the next one...we have to learn that no one group is "supreme..there is no manifest destiny..different is not evil but is needed to innovate and progress
lyrics
I wish I were a mirror
to help you see yourself
how you waste your energy
how you huff and puff
to hate someone you never knew
wishing they were dead
just because you never learned
how to love yourself
I wish I werew a garbage truck
so I could empty out
all the garbage in your head and thebhatred in your heart
and let you see the world again
as you used to do
playing with your schoolyard friends
it didn't matter who
you will not replace me
is that all that you can say
trust me you are safe and sound
no one wants to be like you
too afraid to hear the truth so you howl at the moon
I wish I were your mother
I'd send you to your room

These words are so well written. So full of common sense and truths worth sharing. Well done, Dave, for your βbelle plume,β as we say in France. The ability to write with great style, to have beautiful handwriting capable of conveying messages in a simple but intelligible way.

Cool track man. Nice line on them not remembering how to love themselves. That's likely a solid generalistion βπΎπ
