One World

One world is now almost a dirty phrase

Barbarian in Chief despises global thought

Don’t pillory the dolt too much

All presidents we’ve voted in have caved

+

We are on the road to suicide

We’ll know when fallout’s all around

So omnipresent is barbarity

we sleep and its decibels resound

+

We’ve become the very ones we hate

We are all enveloped in disgrace

Barbarity by tax and attitude

reversing every baby step we made

+

Repentance? Not on our dance card

but we can dream some hidden tears away

Dream of a child who sings alone

a single word we strain for: Kyrie
