Not so sure anymore

30/09/2022

 

 

Not so sure anymore

 

We travel in fast-moving currents

Over rocks where it’s easy to slip

Carousels of tricky moments

Can make you lose your grip

Just some years ago it wasn’t that way

Was easier to keep sight of shore

And I’ve not come here to tell you a lie

Coz I’m not nearly so sure anymore

 

We’re all locked in our internet bubble

Cut off from the rest of the planet

Staving off reality and trouble

With our very own version of SKYNET

We’re losing the art of conversation

Even of being in a true relation

We seem to be happy with less…not more

And I’m truly not as sure as I was, anymore

 

I find myself looking for something more real

Something with a solid look and feel

We’ve got 74 genders and it won’t end there, for sure

Don’t we even know who we are in the raw, anymore?

We’ve screwed religion, sex and truth so much

There’s nothing left to twist more

But I’m not here to cry, shout or roar

Just,( ever so quietly), I’m not so sure anymore

 

 

I got no confidence in the Law

Or the obscene reason for that latest war

Statesmanship’s dead, were all in the red

And I PRAY for just communists under the bed

The gulf is yawning between rich and poor

And while I watch these lives of ours that cannot endure

All I can say is

I’m not the least bit surprised anymore!

 

Funny how we live life these days

Chasing likes across a Facebook page

Politician man’s scared to do what’s right

For fear of losing votes in the ensuing fight

Bullying’s all the rage in school

You’d think by now we’d have learnt the golden rule

Raise ‘em right at home… even if their butts get sore

Because, if you don’t, none of us will sleep anymore

 

 

The global population’s exploding

Immigrants charging the gate

Politician man’s got no answers

So the people are turning to hate

The Earth our mother is breaking

The Ocean’s collapsing the shore

Temperature’s rising, culture’s colliding

Can we SERIOUSLY take any more?
