Start Afresh?

Does the dying earth not speak to you,

saying that we all need to start anew?

Does the unfairness sit well with you?

Does it not seem to slowly choke you?

Are you waiting for it to directly affect you?

Would the cries for justice only then appeal to you?

Don't you see how they use

the resources of all, like a noose

around all our necks, now blue

with marks of battles to ensue?

Battles not with each other, but within you.

How else will we ever be able to start anew?

For millions of mindsets need to change,

before we end up all deranged.

So, would you still wait around for the gears to somehow mesh?

Or would you consider it the right time to start afresh?
