Oh!, here in the Kingdom of Wonder, What are the people who disparage Those who would escape their western Lives and homes to find something else In another land talking about. Make a stand at home, don't run away, Don't be cowards they say. Stand and Defend the system of mandatory death Shots, mutilation of childrens' chance Of reproducing as adults, poisoned food, Water, air, insane education system, Homelessness, street-gang violence. No need to mention the .gov, media etc. Perhaps they are in search of a "real" Reality, not augmented or virtual. Perhaps they have seen their own shit As the three young women sitting in an Alley see everyday, reality can be difficult for a Schofield Bible clutching wokester To deal with. There is no place to hide, We all live on the same planet, doesn't Matter where, we are brothers and sisters. No space aliens coming to save us, Jesus Has already come and gone. Why is it that here women are beautiful And smile and laugh amidst the poverty and filth, perhaps it's reality that brings Tears of Joy to strong, clear-minded people.

Oh!, here in the Kingdom of Wonder,
What are the people who disparage
Those who would escape their western
Lives and homes to find something else
In another land talking about.
Make a stand at home, don't run away,
Don't be cowards they say. Stand and
Defend the system of mandatory death
Shots, mutilation of childrens' chance
Of reproducing as adults, poisoned food,
Water, air, insane education system,
Homelessness, street-gang violence.
No need to mention the .gov, media etc.
Perhaps they are in search of a "real"
Reality, not augmented or virtual.
Perhaps they have seen their own shit
As the three young women sitting in an
Alley see everyday, reality can be difficult
for a Schofield Bible clutching wokester
To deal with. There is no place to hide,
We all live on the same planet, doesn't
Matter where, we are brothers and sisters.
No space aliens coming to save us, Jesus
Has already come and gone.
Why is it that here women are beautiful
And smile and laugh amidst the poverty
and filth, perhaps it's reality that brings
Tears of Joy to strong, clear-minded people.
Bravo, Lyle!--Linh
