[hometext] =>
[bodytext] => 2020 this is the year,
The year you blame for destruction and fear.
If you open your eyes you will see clear,
Warnings were out there but you plugged your ears.
You ignore the truths from around the world.
You ignore the science, “Give faith a burl”.
You ignore the screams as pain was unfurled.
You ignore the warnings as hatred was hurled.
Your content to lament disastrous events,
As you resent attempts to stop this descent!
And still you refuse to pay your own rent!
You won/'/t be happy till this world is spent!
The world/'/s falling apart around your ear/'/s,
But you ignore the terror, fear, tear/'/s.
As long as you have your footy and beer/'/s,
you/'/ll deny whats happening to your neighbours and peers.
Your empathy and care has been lost somewhere,
As you ignore those in pain, hunger, despair.
You sit in your tower, “Why should I care?”
As an asthmatic child struggles for air.
One thing I/'/ll say to you right now.
You think your protected from a living hell.
But the day is near for you to yell.
As you hear the dread toll of your death knell!

For some, this is sadly accurate. For some people, their coping mechanism seems to be acting like an ostrich - hiding their heads in the sand. Ignoring the problems won/'/t make them go away - the only way to do it is for all of us to help each other to solve those problems.
Great write.

so very accurate!
None of us are immune,
nor were we ever, this is so true.
The blight was always there,
was never too hard to see, if
you ever cared enough to look.
I guess too many of us hoped
that some leader would just
come along, and take us all
forward, you know, that same
old song - it is a nice song, that
just never materialized and
you count me in as one who is
partly to blame.
It does not help to divide,
just like it does not do anyone
any good to stay ignorant
to the truth.
Great Write, it is good to know
that some folks are willing to
say, and speak out what is, and
has always been!
Peace! |
