Wishful Thinking

The world is getting ripped to shreds
We just don’t know what to do
Trying to keep from only seeing in reds
Keep thoughts sharp like arrowheads
Together, we’ll come through

Please don’t hide and tremble in fear
We’ll find the hidden shine
Right is not gone, just waiting for us near
Wrong will quiver shrinking as justice will appear
Evil in dramatic decline

The party’s here, it’s Mardi Gras
Let them drink and have their fun
Let them heckle, jeer, and guffaw
Their hearts will never, ever thaw
Until they feel their own shotgun

When they are at their worst
We won’t let them die
We never let our morals burst
We won’t leave the weak cursed
We welcome the true ally
