Like tectonic plates, growing apart

With Xitter and Facebook neatly doing their part

The legislature doesn’t really care about me

They get there money and healthcare for free

Meanwhile, we suffer from this polarization

Not just the US, but almost every nation

War, corruption and global warming give me a hopeless feeling

Almost on a daily basis, reading news leaves me reeling

Am I just a pessimist or will we really fail?

Are we watching the apocalypse in slow motion while wagging our tail
