Our society is built on fear and cruelty
A labyrinth of unreason and illusion.
Rivers of inequality and injustice
It's drums and rhythms beating out daily.
Leaving no hug of warmth or care
Defeated and broken, out of their minds
No serenity, lives falling endlessly apart
Stained by their own piss and vomit
Freezing to death as others walk on by
Like they simply don't exist
As politicians with cunning cruelty
No integrity, empathy, respect, morality
Crush all those looking for ways to cope
Asylum seekers, refugees escaping persecution
Seeking refuge, safe routes and harbours
Allowing negativity to spread across the land
As they distort and destroy, life already fragile
Spitting poison against a public already tired
A future unwritten beyond the insecurity of today
Time to find an exit, overcome all of this
Reaching out, for new ways of feeling
Keeping connected, finding some healing
Swimming against currents of unreason
Seeing the world through a different lens
Where beacons of light lend a helping hand
Hearts of kindness, dancing with strangers
Life forces of energy, cancelling conditioning
Planting forests of cooperation, uprooting insanity
Breaking the chains of disorder and bitterness
Erasing the conundrums, destroying minefields
Numbing the pain. the torment and anxiety
The blindness of indifference, the sap of darkness
Removing the emptiness that consumes souls
Finding hope, vibratons of resistance
Beyond the unyeilding edges of chaos
Reaching the unreachable, bending the unbendable
Defying the turbulent storm, delivering winds of change.
This is very moving and haunting. Read on an day when the need to hope feels almost overwhelming. Very powerful.
