Black Hole Sun
On a cold catholic day
In a Bavarian Kingdom Far Away
From friends & family I long to see
Why do I feel so out at sea
Media Frenzy
Making me crazy
Issues so paramount
Hidden underground
Personalities stand out
Whilst millions are forgotten about
Living lives in pain and poverty
Without a platform or winning lottery
Jane Austen's Serious Play
Becomes the continuous mainstay
Whilst our rights & laws are broken
We avert our eyes in the other direction
A new religion has arisen
Yet puts many in a social media prison
Of believers in either one idol or another
Deities of modern capital wonder
A rehashed world order
Has our capability to discover
Left us with nothing but a shudder
Of a more convenient truth
That is like an obsessive muse
One day I hope humanities capacity
To help each other beyond our own vanity
Will prevail above all
So we can again stand tall
Where we're not dazzled by hocus pocus
In these times so out of focus
Just as the sun will shine again
These times too, we will transcend
