Bathe In The Lions Den
do you know –
that i have been crying for too long
too many people look down on others
no, i did not study hard at school
or end up at university
but please do not think i am a fool
or that i lack mental capacity
too may people spend too long
slapping themselves on the back
well they need to feel secure
i know that is a fact
that their self control is just insecurity
which had got a deathly hold
so you judge me
without ever knowing who i am
i would like to know more
but i will never understand
well done to them for being brainwashed
as we bath in the lions den
James Garratt – November 2004
