Ice in My Coffee

Ice in my coffee, Ice in my dream, Why can't I just have some ice cream? Rage in my window, Rage on the Screen, Why can't I just make the dirty window clean? Bullets on the news, Bullets on the floor, Why can't we wash the red off the door? Thoughts in my pillow, Thoughts on the page, Why can't we transform our prayers into sage? Toys for the children, Toys for the boys, Why don't they spend their energy being coy? Can't we turn the page? Can't we flip the coin? Why can't we help the world be full of joy?
