Summer of 2020

We’re a people on the edge

Pass the sledge

Hammer it down

‘Led’ by a clown

There’s hurting, such pain

No societal gain

We’ve been cooped up, shut off

It’s a loop, yet they scoff

Cuz we’re living in darkness

One death didn’t start this

Full collapse and mounting

Layer after layer made the thing

Til destruction was the answer

Revolution or a cancer?

Who needs to listen? 

Badges through smoke glisten

Set flames to the divide

Pursuits of happiness collide

As many simply try to live

And others give and give

We’re bleeding, we’re burning

Fighting, marching, mostly yearning

For the free that’s promised 

In the land that’s lost its

 Way, but hey

Maybe that was all just 

A fairy tale anyway
