Desensitized         
             

Woke up early 
On the tenth anniversary 
GOOD MORNING 
Fit in clips of it 
Between food prep shorts 
Weather reports 
Check the day's commute 
And a look at sports 
I remember how the wind 
Was knocked from me 
Before it became footage 
A footnote in history 
Recently I think I heard it could have been avoided 
It shouldn't have occurred 
A fundamental obligation 
To my parents and my kids LIFE 
Gave me a glimpse of it Don't know who shot him 
They never caught him 
Let's get to the bottom 
And blow off the lid 
I'm trying to keep a balance 
Like the plates on top of sticks 
Chip away 'til it goes down 
When it goes down apply the kicks 
Recently I think I heard 
It could have been avoided 
It shouldn't have occurred 
Sadly we're desensitized 
To all the scandals and the cover ups 
The conspiracies and lies
