Fear and loathing, aka Bring Change Home.
I've been gentrified
out of a few neighborhoods.
I hope we can stay here, despite the Obamachron.
I try to wait and see but you see I have a strange anxiety
in my insula, which seems to have been born in my brain.
It's reasonable given the circumstances.
All along we've been told change is for our own good,
oligarchy is actually democracy,
and a cruel optimism has taken hold of us.
Even genocide now they call democracy,
and we can't save our parks, nor our neighborhoods,
let alone the world.
