Days of Zoom and Gloom

In these days of Zoom and Gloom
    'round every bend, crises loom

  Paranoid extremists holding sway
    all the streets, they are one-way

  My friend today's my foe tomorrow
    his infinitesimalist joy, my gravest sorrow  

  Trolls and losers spook the young
    bullies silence their tender tongues...

  Now, as for what is to be done
    Patience, please ~ Long live the Sun!
