“Questions”
Progress
Is it not inevitable?
We wear black, purple
Measures that are charitable
We say that’s enough
Throw a bone to the cause
But the river still churns
And there’s no true applause
People will ride their bikes
Watch their movies
Meet friends for lunch
Comment on other beauties
Because we’ve done the limit
And who wants to worry?
The whole world is ahead
Why make the future blurry?
But, there is more
An exception to our ongoing rules
The birds have flown too far
And those are rising against ghouls
Bravery, and intolerance
For a continuation of oppression
May still blur the world’s rules
But, it is always better to question.
