  Every Morning Every morning we wake ourselves Drag tired bones out of a warm bed Into a cold dawn which is hardly welcoming But takes us into its chill embrace Every morning we take a shower Cold water cascading over a freezing body That wants nothing more than to return to sleep But can't Every morning we shovel down food Bland morsels onto a calloused palete Nutrition to help you through the day But won't help you survive it Every morning we travel to school Staring out blankly at the pedestrians around A mess of faces we'll never recognise again And they just go on Every morning we get there late Get yelled at by a somebody Who refuses to admit that no one listens or cares And it all washes past Every morning we mouth the words An empty pledge to a nothing nation A speck of dust amid the wonders of the universe And the sheer monotony of it all scares you
