A Common Goal

The truth has turned to fiction Lies are stated as if they’re fact While overzealous politicians Stab one another in the back Right and left are being polarized There seems to be no middle ground In a world becoming globalized No unification can be found Vigilantes patrol neighborhoods Killing young men fitting profiles Thoreau is lost in Walden’s woods Lady Liberty no longer smiles We’ve become a litigious society People wanting hand outs from the court Religions have lost their piety If this were a mission we would abort Silent remains the majority Wealth is distributed to but a few We need a healthy dose of some purity To grab a hold and pull us through In the end it is up to all of us To find the humanity within our soul And in each other put our trust So we can all reach a common goal
