I wonder why we live the way we do
Mired in inequity and inequality
A growing dis-ease of apathy falling upon us
Costs of living rising, disillusioning our souls 
Homelessness in every city
Mental health fraying and flailing.

We believe each Election will lead to something new
When nothing changes, everything stays the same
Nationalism and Populism on the rise 
Stoking the fears within
The rise of hatreds sates our spirits temporarily.

Change does not come by its own
It needs to be prompted and built upon
We need to demand for it
Or else we will see the increase in apathy
That leads to atrocities of the mind and spirit.

I fear what is to come, I really do
This world could have been our Paradise
We could have had it all
But by damn, we squandered it.
