Wishing for Dawn

Madness I see about me everywhere.
I think by now we’re past the Aquarius phase.
I want to speak out, but do I dare?
So easily offended are folks these days.

How much longer will the nonsense stand?
Any politician that I see
I surely do not want to shake his hand.
Whatever has he done for you or me?

They talk and talk while nothing’s getting done.
Both crime and prices at the same time rise.
How long until the rising of the sun?
When will all wars cease? I only can surmise.

As slow as shadows creeping up the wall,
relief can seem so very far away.
Living in an ever constant nightfall,
I’m wishing for the light of a new day.

Oh, precious light of dawn when truth shall reign-
will I be around to see you shine?
I think not; more suffering and pain
are yet to come. (yeah, everything is fine)

Some tell themselves that all is good and well,
ignoring signs – preferring to stay blind
while lunacy – like waves I’m seeing swell -
are infecting every other person’s mind.

For those who see what I see, please stand strong.
I’m glad that some are on the page I’m on!
Perhaps it really won’t be all that long
before Dark is defeated by Dawn.
