"I hate it when people see you in the supermarket and they are like 'Hey! What are you doing here?' and I'm just like 'Oh you know....hunting elephants'"

Anger swarms around me
People cry out in fear and panic
All I can do is watch
Watch as my people are killed
Torture is a suitable answer
For the one I love
For the ones I hate
Some of us have a family
Some of us have a job
Some of us are wonderful
Some of us are awful
Panic swarms over me
I try to breathe
Hate suffocates me
And I can only watch
As my world collapses
And we all sit
Like stones in the river
