Callous Heart

You've chosen a callous indifference
to the suffering of others
somewhere along the way you made the decision
to be heartless and impassive
and I am truely sorry for all the pain
and suffering that you have put people through
Your elbows are tough from
the pushing and the shoving
as you make your way through
the crowds of your anger
with a stoic strut dressed
in a full length wool bitterness
Unaffected by the joy, the grief,
the pleasure, and the pain
all of these which have resigned
picketing on the streets now
of your closed mind

You march up and down the streets
with a callous heart sewn on your sleeve
Hardened by the critical times you have to deal with
You got to make sure of it
Everybody has got to see how
your eyes have become flat
And I'm truly sorry for all the trouble
you have put people through to make yourself
emotionless with your hard-boiled thoughts and wishes

So, I'm just going to sit here underneath
the awning of your madness
as your pi$sed off decisions comes
pi$sing down on everyone around you
Yes, here you come marching down
with a callous heart sewn onto your sleeve
It shows in your stoic strut
It's inbedded into the wool of your bitterness

And as you come pi$sing down on me
I'm sitting underneath the awning of your madness
and being the street poet on a Montreal sidewalk
yeah that's me taking a little closer look
Peering through the window of your closed mind
