There’s dangerous climate change,
there’s politicians stupid and strange.
There’s the horrors and death in war,
there’s those of dire needs to ignore.

There’s rights diminished and trampled,
there’s twisted surveys being sampled
for the sake of purported fight for right,
and for power which hides from the light.

And yet we live and love, build and yearn
for a better life we’ve done little to earn
by our social contract to one another
As we take from our sister and brother.

We know not what we’ve done in this age
of wealth, as we’ve turned into a sea of rage.
I fear we will drown each other in a roiling sea,
if we don’t help each other be the best we can be.

We must find reason in our heart and mind
returning to a world safer and far more kind,
where compassion and understanding reigned
and power for power sake is forever disdained.
