Testo Vitriolage

We condemn it in other countries
To take the heat off us.
An advanced society with the mind of a child.
It's a mild inconvenience.
The punchline to a sordid joke.
We sweep it under the rug.
Out of sight, out of mind.
Only it's the elephant in the room. We're looking through a crystal ball,
But refuse to look in the mirror.
If you can't look yourself in the eye
And deny that it's happening,
How can you convince anyone else?
