What’s on tonight?
The same old thing
Going into work
And coming home again,
Listening to some news
About war and injustice,
Efforts to bring peace
And reduce the general unrest, without success,
Major swings in the world’s
Economic fortunes,
Money changing hands
Through the electronic counters,
People crying for justice,
While powerful nations
Sit it out and wait
Watching the course of fate,
The hand wringing never ceases
But no action takes place
As the violence picks up the pace
And refugees race to escape the devastation,
It’s a puzzle to me,
How anyone can be free
When nobody does anything
To ensure it comes to be,
My compassion grows
For all those
Who’ve gotten in the way
Of the bombs falling every day,
May they all find refuge
From this terrible situation,
May we all find a method
To put an end to the carnage
Before it’s too late for all of us.
