The great indifference

The West is burning
�acre after acre gone to ash.
�It’s so hot hundreds die:
�does anyone in power care?

�

The East is waterlogged
�and new storms come roaring
�months earlier than ever:
�does anyone in power care?

�

Media spew lies and lead
�people to refuse vaccines
�and die, children on ventilators:
�does anyone in power care?

�

Everyday some angry man
�goes out and shoots everyone
�in sight, no place safe now:
�does anyone in power care?

�

We die from what could be
�prevented if the powerful gave
�the tiniest damn, but they only
�care for those who give money
�so they can keep that power
�evermore.
