Here

Go beyond rumour
That seems so true,
Truth does not lie
Yet dismay concedes

Be aware of fear
Cheer cannot stay
For very long here,
Indeed pain supersedes all

Here there is only change
Strange as truth sublime
Pain is not brief
Plight of surplus grief

Vain needs and wants betray
Our common humanity
There is no end
To insidious intent
