We Could

A generation that’s seen titles - like “Boom or Bust”
Worshiped paper inscribed - with “In God We Trust”
Venerated those, whom - after greed and power, lust
Will the end result be - all returned to the dust?

Claims that our sovereign shores we must defend
Time to realize on each other we must interdepend
To a higher vision all could ascend
That the “norm” is working no longer pretend

No longer support policies shaped by greed
No more band-aids applied to chronic wounds that bleed
Truly a global village we must all - at last concede
“Their” needs are “our” needs if all are to succeed

Mother earth has been treated like an endless buffet
Human presence contributing - to her toxicity & decay
A loving reliance - no longer should we betray,
Hands around the world join to form a divine bouquet
