about

originally released March 2009 on 'songs from home'
simonpiler.bandcamp.com/album/songs-from-home

lyrics

i don't care
for their politics
it isn't what
i'd choose

it's just that
all their policies
are riddled-up
like rules

i'd not sell
mine to media
to make some
sparkly show

no, i would give
my politics
some soil on
which to grow

and what i'd like
from senators
is stars
and some night air

i often have
a feeling that
they do not
even care

and what i'd like
from presidents
is forests
thick and wild

however,
it's more likely
i'll be treated
like a child

but
maybe that's better

than being treated
like a rock: inanimate
a brick: commonplace
a stump: useless
a fencepost: target for manipulation
some dirt: below them
a pair of gloves: to be cast aside
