What Has Happened To Us All
What has happened to us all, mankind and here in the US
Where it seems that life is all about money, millionaires and billionaires
Multi billionaires? who can they be and what have they become
Who needs a billion — to play with false space ships and childish dreams
What has happened to us where are the funds for the health of children
The safety of our lands and parks, the joy and love of wildlife all ignored
Why has money taken over the land, as nature sends out diseases
And hundreds die, she is angry our Mother at our cold narcissism
As Borderlines take over our politicians doing nothing for our lives
Making sure they have been seen in the internet and false news
Creating religion based on funds given to not the poor or needy
Not to the sick or science to help the sick but to ministerial tv stars
To CEOs the new gods of America where money rains like winter storms
And children play computer games forgetting their pets and civil duties
While the reality of Christian, Jewish, Buddhist and Islam beliefs
That talk of kindness and the living life of the world are put to the side
For gold and computer chips and churches rich and cold
What has happened to us to separate us from life that once was bold
The living life of all of us creatures large and small
What has happened to us all?
