Third millennium’s turned twenty four
And there be things we can’t ignore
That spin my head with shocked surprise
I sometimes can’t believe my eyes
I thought we all had come to learn
That books are not meant to be burned
Foolish culture wars still rage
We can’t agree on climate change
The simplest concepts once we shared
Are long since gone into thin air
Like war is bad, oppression hurtful
But milk of human kindness curdled
Division tore us far apart
Emboldened hatred, blackened hearts
We’ve reached a critical impasse
Insane how falsehoods spread so fast
If we don’t smarten up and see
That common sense and good are key
Then done we are, no turning back
Though odds against us fully stacked
Democracy has now gone rogue
Integrity is back in vogue
I still believe we’re course correcting
Hope humane values worth protecting
Rise to the top to be restored
Let’s keep the faith in ‘24!
