maybe music can't save us....but she'll try

[saw]

maybe music can't save us
but she can soothe your aching mind,
she can file a restrianing order
against the evil actions pouring down
upon your head like torrid acid rain

she can ease the heartache and the soulcrush
way down deep in your body, penetrate
through the bones, through the muscle,
offer a temporary sanctuary
for old trailblazers whose path is blocked by hateful erosion

and offer a neural escape, a backdoor
from the encroaching neo-prison being imposed by men
with fake tans and real nazi salutes and sheep wearing maga-hats
she can halt the advance of the stormtroopers of destruction
with her lilting progressions of lyrical nirvana

she can bathe you in a bubble bath of reprieve
cancel the punishment for breathing
and melt away the stark osmosis of fox news,
maybe music can't save us
but she'll give it a damn good try

She will not only try, but mostly succeed, I say
