Where did we go wrong?
Love has left our hearts empty,
hatred consumed us with its open jaw.
Humanity sailed away long ago,
compassion fled into the unknown,
benevolence trapped in a dungeon of greed.

One man holds the fate of all—
poisons our minds, divides and conquers.
Deceit is what he sows,
foolish puppets that he reaps.
We fight for peace with death,
life is what we give him.
Don’t be fooled by his flattery—
for that is the feast, keeps him alive.

Where did we go wrong?
If only there was a reset button…
Yet—
Fret not, not all is lost,
for we are still here,
So, try a little, give a little,
love a little, be compassionate.
For hope is still alive.
