Hundreds dying.
Women children elderly men animals
Pronouns do not matter at all
Suffering, doesn’t matter which side its on
Its business as usual
Blaming others
My ideology is better than yours
For land that will be our graves, by war or by time
If it’s yours why not take it to your graves,
Its business as usual
Leaders hide and show their might
Farmers and laborer’s fight
For their lives and of their loved ones
Climate change a faraway thought, if at all
Its business as usual
Hearts bleed
Revenge or suicide
Is God on our side?
Cannot figure who is at fault
Its business as usual
All is lost
Families careers businesses
Does not matter if I am late for the party
Like sand castles
Its business as usual
Animals watch us wail
They wailed when we slaughtered them too
What could we do, we had no choice?
They feel our pain and cry
McDonalds will open early tomorrow
Its business as usual
Need to add more intelligence
Replicating this “human” intelligence
Or maybe we should not
Just buy NVidia stock they say
Its business as usual
Corona
Polluted and processed everything from water to food to air
To thoughts, Cannot trust neighbors
Rich trying to get richer at all costs
Pursuits unending, race till the end
When will this all end
Its business as usual
Violence everywhere
Movies, games, toys, cartoons
More sex more drugs more guns
Happiness here I come, will it wait?
The ephemeral carrot
Its business as usual
Most posts most likes
Selling pictures of my plight
Everyone rejoices pain and drama and fights
That’s where the money is, just shouldn’t be mine
Media sells they say
Its business as usual
Tried blaming
Tried partying
Tried drinking
The pain will not go, she was my daughter
My son, my mother, my friend
Its business as usual
Cannot clap with one hand
Throwing burning coal will burn my hand
They will sell me the coal, its on sale
Make hurting others my goal
Its business as usual
The mind is relentless
But have to let go
Will…. Not…. buy into the greed and hatred
Within each, them or us, is the beautiful soul
A part of God
Something unusual
