Hiding behind our fears, yet shedding tears,
Struggling for years, chasing elusive dreams with gears.
Amid the chaos, struggles and strife,
We shan’t forget, hope still guides our life.
We dare not say “If”, for possibilities are beyond measure,
The world is our canvas, dreams waiting for us to treasure.
Why then continue this never-ending fight?
Why not rise above our fears, and let our spirits take flight?
Ears open and hearts cry out,
To hear a neighbor’s call, amidst the doubt.
But all that is heard is silence,
A deafening void, with no pretense.
Life’s grip is tight, twisting and turning,
The cure became disease, leaving us burning.
The vaccine turned blood masking,
All for profit-making, a cruel tasking.
Who will stop the churning wheels of greed?
Who will end this madness, and stop profiteering’s creed?
The answer is obvious if we all see,
It’s for humanity, we must rise up with glee.
