Wasteland

Wasteland

In a world so out of balance

How can wrongs be righted?

When from our womb all the way down to our grave

Our lives are simply blighted

Can a river be purer than its source?

Someone heartier than their spunk?

We talk the well-being of our planet

But forget to make the walk.

Blinded by our rampant greed

Old wisdom has been scrapped

Morals and virtue of chiefs of old

More or less eclipsed

….by pillage like there’s no tomorrow

No accountability in sight

The scramble to stuff pockets

The only righteous fight
