Sisyphean
Sisyphean
By Michelle Morris

Sisyphean seems the task
To gather consensus from mankind
Scattered around the earth
Peace flailing ever blindly
Mere mortals are we
But destruction is a talent
We seem to gleefully achieve
At any given moment
Why can't we focus rather
On our brilliant creativity
Solve challenges together
Create a utopian reality
Around the globe we find
Individuality and unity
People striving to be better
Make heaven on earth a surety
But there always seems to be
Darkness lurking somewhere
Trying to lay waste to good
Infecting the minds of the oligarchy
Sisyphean it doesn't need to be
Rather possible is peace for us
Only if we stand together
And in a higher power we trust
