Are we seeing it again?
Eyes averred to those in need
Are we pampering the egos
That grow fat on blood and greed?
Are we seeing it again?
Are we hearing it again?
Rhetoric of wilful right
Do we count up all the cost as
Lives are shattered in the night?
Are we hearing it again?
Are we feeling it again?
Such a dread and dark despair
When we search for our heart’s allies
We are left so wanting there
Are we feeling it again?
Are we knowing it again?
Cycles form and darkness grows
We are victims of our hatred
Thus the wheel of fate bestows
Are we knowing it again?

Will we fight it again?
The selfishness of greed
You bet we will to battle go
To defend all those in need
Will we fight it again?

That ominous wheel of fate Helen, so beautifully put, well done.
Thanks Michael!! 🙂
Could we be wise just for once?
Put our knowledge to good use
Learn lessons from history
Avoid our predicted fate
Could we be wise just for once?
