No One Wants To Talk About ‘The Thing’
No one wants to talk about ‘the thing’.
So instead, there’s just knowing looks whilst turning the other way, shrugging shoulders in dismay.
For no one wants to talk about the thing.
Because the gravity of the depravity creates a social insanity, where what goes on in front of open eyes, is explained away with audacious lies.
‘Cos no one wants to talk about the thing.
For such a thing would necessitate a reckoning, an awkward self-examination of how such humiliating degradation could fester under our very noses, ‘cos no one ever actually supposes that the thing could happen.. here.
Amongst our very own, but that is how the thing is grown, for each time a blind eye is turned, the shameful silence is being learned.
‘Smile please at the camera!’ Let the pretence belie the tense atmosphere that suffocates the truth.
WHY does no one say anything? Because no one wants to talk about the thing.
And you’ll be accused of being a trouble-maker, rather than what you are – a cycle-breaker.
If you speak up, you’ll be deterred, told ‘such a thing is just absurd!’
You sure as hell won’t be heard. Cos no one wants to talk about ‘the thing’.”
