Low Hanging Fruit

You’ve gotten what you wanted

Your eyes ONLY on THAT prize

Question is

Was that wise

As the immediate problems of the day

Have NOT gone away

Nor will they any time soon

So much energy

So much time

So much money

Invested in what may only amount

To a show

To a sham

To a distraction

Something only to make us think

That you care

That you want to make a difference

That you can make things better

Ok, so now that you’ve gotten what you want

What comes next

Especially when we wake each morning

And everything is still falling apart

And everything still smells like shit

And everything still looks like Hell

So maybe try giving us

Something that helps us all

Something that pays dividends

In building a system

Where there’s true caring

And true meaning

And true Hope

And true Love
