how can you go on like nothing’s happening
not feel the terror and the pain of every living thing
how can you not notice our world is troubling
all morals and ethics cracked and crumbling
how can you just sit there without grappling
your head in the sand leaves hopes dampening
we live in a society of apathy’s fashioning
worse than your greatest imagining
will the best of us come a-running
evil’s hold a-slackening
will right come a-dismantling
the bad guys dreams shattering
if good has more than saber rattling
can light win with only a smattering
