Unravelling the discord

  


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

That leaves people on the streets abandoned .

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 

Others unable to hear their silent screams

The world so fucked up, minds disconnected 

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

Their survival left hanging by a rope

Humans taught to marginalise and hate others 

Allowing negativity to spread across the land 

As they distort and  destroy, life already fragile 

Spitting poison against a public already tired

I spy though a thousand hopes of escape 

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

Inaugurating a new era, changing perception.

Regenerating the world, with revolution of mind

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.
