Day 26: 15 Minutes

One could say I'm beating a dead horse
Or that stupid punishments are a matter of course
Or, "We have to strike out to prevent acts of force"

Like Columbine, or September 11
If you don't live in fear
Then you won't get to heaven

We must do anything
To quell our worry
We need a simple solution
'Cuz we're in a hurry
Make sure the message fits
Inside a media flurry
Give it to us crystal clear
Even though it's all blurry

But it's simply not simple
It doesn't boil down that easy
Thought requires thinking
Sorry if that makes you queasy

Fifteen minutes is not enough time
To resolve the issues of our time
Think about an issue 'til you hear the chime
Then stop and change the subject on a dime

One could say that my point is growing hoarse
Or that short, sharp, shock is a matter of course
And that every ghost threat should be met with full force

Like suspending kids for tiny stupid little things
And hardly comprehending
What that might bring

We must try anything
To quell our worry
Please make it crystal clear
Even though it's all blurry

But there's a complication
Up in the heezy
Thought requires thinking
Sorry if that makes you queasy

Fifteen minutes is not enough time
To resolve the issues of our time
Think about an issue 'til you hear the chime
Then stop and change the subject on a dime
