CAN’T SAY THE WORLD’S GETTING BETTER
CAN’T SAY IT’S GETTING WORSE
HUMANITY’S STILL A BLESSING
HUMANKIND OFTEN A CURSE

MY EARLY MEMORIES ARE
OF DISNEYLAND AND THE FALL OF SAIGON
THE “HAPPIEST PLACE ON EARTH”
AND A BRUTAL WAR IN A FOREIGN LAND

CAPITALISM AND COLONIALISM
WAR ZONES AND FAMILY VACATIONS
ARBITRARY BORDERS,
ARTIFICIAL EYESORES

DAILY WITNESS TO MISERY
PAIN AND INSANITY

BUT I STILL SURROUND MYSELF
WITH FRIENDS AND FAMILY

AND IF I LOSE MY SENSE OF HUMOUR
I’LL LOSE MY OWN HUMANITY
SO YOU BET I’M STILL ANGRY
BUT I’M STILL SMILING
