Analysis of The World In Denial
Old men making deals
the young taking bullets
Politicians to steal
no one to prevent it
Athletes and rappers
sit on the throne
Parents and teachers
their message disowned
Freedom on trial
both inside and out
The world in denial
—no place left to shout
(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2015)
