THE POLITICS OF THE ABSURD

The endless cycle goes round and round
all thats heard is a screaming sound
an atrocity here means a payback there
the world gives a moan and we truly care
But the process seems all locked in political control
the ordinary person wonders what is their role
why does this cycle go round and round
when all thats heard is a screaming sound?
A sense of helplessness fills us as we look on
we once felt there was hope but thats all gone
this senseless cycle is locked deep in the game
a game that we know is simply insane
Day follows day of outrage and death
no sense of progress just another last breath
for all the hopes humankind has held out
all the ignoring of our one pleading shout
Peace! we cry but its blown by the wind
in a raging storm our hopes are pinned
on this or that response and well meant verse
as political actions only makes things worse
This endless cycle of death and decay
cant help but bring us to futile dismay
as we watch our leaders blunder and fail
while louder grows each funereal wail
What levers can we pull to stop this madness?
what can we do our leaders to press?
the future looks bleak with no end in view
with politicians so blind and brains so few
What we can do is do what we can
be active and strident and confront their plan
show we wish change in each act and word
and an end to these politics of the absurd
