Exoskeletons

Waiting in fear
 My stepfather's prey
 Mother's mistake
 Now I'm blackmailed not to say
 Try to explain
 To a starving child
 The check's in the mail
 But it hasn't arrived
 We've got money for weapons
 And appeals to crimes
 Shadrack of Kenya
 May never reach five
 Look around and I will show you now
 A world that needs a way out
 Look around and I will show you how
 A man can gain understanding
 Can you tell that it's me?
 Chemo has arrived
 Like a drive-by shooting
 Both the good and bad cells die
 The funeral's delayed
 Until the newlyweds arrive
 They pull him from the car
 That she followed behind
 State of panic reasoning
 Interrupts while she cries
 Summons the priest
 Can you fit two inside?
 Time has no respect for man
 Rain falls on the good and bad
 Though we may not understand
 We can choose to watch or extend our hands
 Look around and I will show you now
 A world that needs a way out
 Look around and then look at yourself
 Because you can help them out
