dark planet

whose dark life
became a song
.......is it right to sing along
or is this time for silence...

but how can silence counteract
afternoon television
.......court-tv-talk-shows
and more survivors
than we could possibly see
is elvis costello
trying to remind me
.......women are being raped right now
those women are crying
and you are watching one of them
describe it on divorce court
to preteens
just home from school

whose dark life
became a song
.......it could have been anyone
