Living Choices
No safe space
Hate speech
Medical records
Science, adults and older children
Families at war, religion screams
Men, fathers, husbands attack
Mothers less so, but still...
Its hard, there are painful choices,
Uncertainy rules
Chaos creates less pain?
Can we agree to work together
Deal with the earth's problems
Fight as a group to seek answers
Struggle for life -- given severe drought and rains
Still death threats abound
Climate change, extreme weather
Let some of these personal fights go
Elect to save the world and let people
Live and learn together with space
The physical universe is stars and dust
Older young ones must make their own choices
Male or female, brain cells and sense
Climate change is not a choice
It is life or not for all living kind
