It can’t be otherwise,

Where are we to go?Into the Sea?Where Neptune awaits,Patiently?Centuries old,Persecuted, killed,Who gives you the right,To hunt and kill, others,Those that are Free?That has been,Our sad Destiny,Running, Running,Breathlessly,Trying to escape death,Desperately.Enough is Enough!Everyone has a right,To Live,Even We!

Thought peaceful wordsCould change,Most everythingTeaching understanding,Knitting souls togetherWould better many things,But truth and understandingWill not in deaf ears, ring.Now that I am olderI know, good wordsDon’t mean a thing,We go round and round,Word waltzing,Complicating everythingNot really changingAnything!As blind and deafAs Always,So once more,And running out of time,Let the useless gamesOf slippery wordsBegin,Won’t change a thing!

Giving opportunity and well being,To so many who came our way,Defending, Liberty and Human Rights,Correcting past mistakes,Using equilibrium even at very high stakes.Now,All of that has changed!‘You didn’t build that’‘I will tell you what to be,What you can or can’t have in misery,I, I, I, Me, Me, Me’A true Nightmare, not a fantasy.And furthermore,A treasonous…

The giant is eating,His cold red beet soup,And the World may burning,Good morning, to soot,While our government cheaters,May think that’s mundane,Only some dirt,On the World’s window pane,That doesn’t affect us,So nothing we’ll doTill it’s really too lateAnd were burned in the stew.

Not losing sight,Of the Truth,Wishing that one dayMinds will have progressed enough,To know how to act,And what to chose,Remembering that Hope,Should always be,The last thing we lose.

It can’t be cut out or eliminated,It just stagnates,In thin smoky-grey cloudsThat don’t rain or alleviate,The sadness it shouts out.,
