Stranger to Kindness - The New Year

Your teeth are grinding down into sand

Your fingers are coming through your hands

Your hair is graying

Your eyes are shaking

You can’t expect the kindness of strangers

From those strangers to kindness

But don’t acquiesce

Control your anger

You’re in danger in this part of the world

Are we cowards

Are they jackals

Are we bitter

Or better off than they are

They jump into bed like it’s the end of the world

Have those girls never seen boys

And have those boys ever loved men

They ones who give head to get ahead
