Notes About The Poem

THE WAY THINGS ARE GOING AND SHOULD NOT BE

 

Things going the way they are going, is really not good;

For today, things are not going the way they really should:-

 

Politics is, and will always be, about power and political control;

And today’s politicians are musky mongers, both young and old:-

 

Time for us to be about going and getting things as they ought to be;

Particularly with the oppressive ways things are trumping on you and me:-

 

Now is the time for us to be going about us no longer being droned,

By today’s Oppressor Syndrome, having us destroying ourselves and home:-

 

We can, and must survive, how oppressive things are going on today;

Thus, over the coming years, let’s be about bringing liberation our way:-

 

Of these things going on today, being united, we have survived worse;

Today, united and aware, let’s get to being about eliminating today’s curse:-

 

Hey, crying about things being the damn way they are today, is one thing;

Not doing anything about the way they ought to be, is a damn shame:-

 

Let’s stop going about insulting our ancestors in a “do nothing” shameful way,

And get on to doing what we need to be doing to halt this oppression of today!
