If any child goes to bed hungry
We can do better,
If our veterans live on the streets,
We can do better,
If our sick die without proper care,
We can do better,
It’s not you… It’s me…
No, no, no-- It’s most certainly the other way around!
Listen, sweetheart… I love you
But you need to change, first.
Become what wombs cannot see
as bodies burn and cease to breathe
and we all stand by aimlessly
with phones in hand recording spree
and not too bothered are we by
the chaos that engulfs all life
