We must bear witness!
The centre cannot hold
And neither can the periphery
The countryside is a ghost town
And the city has lost its buzz
We learn that pasta
Is more important than caviare
And toilet paper, more than common sense
That nations which are so good at killing
Are no good at saving lives
That no one is essential, except everyone,
The nurse & the grocer, the doctor & the trucker,
One for All and All for None
We must bear witness!
To the Age of Ozymandias
And evening diyas and orange toupees
We've been foolish, but knowing we have been
Is half the battle won..
We must bear witness!
