THE RECKONING
Somethin' brewin' in my mind
can't pinpoint malaise I will in time
so much conflict strife bad news
sometimes I think what's to lose
do I sit back in comfort nest retreat
do I stand up for what I believe
ay there's the rub what do I believe
beyond platitudes and saying
the fashionable . . .

THE OTHERING
Good versus evil
it's just people killin' people
who knows why
a bigger piece of the pie
gather your tribe
offer a bribe
rally your nation
fire the imagination
demonize the other
lock up your brother
silence your sister
doesn't . . .

MAKE (INSERT YOUR CAUSE HERE) GREAT AGAIN
Sometimes i don't really see
the point of life of strife
of berating of complaining
of everything
everyone is so outraged
so mean so hateful
so easy to jump on another
point a finger
say things to others
with little regard
in that regard
i find it . . .
