Civility Where Have You Gone

Civility where have you gone and why have you gone missing Since you left, all I hear, is an awful lot of hissing No matter how I try, to avoid, unpleasant situations They pop up wherever I go; no longer aberrations Times are hard, it’s very sad, what so many must endure What will happen next, no one knows; it all seems so unsure There are so few jobs for the young or old, or people in-between The cost of living skyrocketing like nothing I have seen Everywhere you look, there is so much, waste and destruction And everyone’s, so tired of hearing, about all of the corruption There’s much to deal with, that’s for sure, no wonder you went missing Sometimes I feel like going missing too; I think I’ve started hissing
