Questions

by CD Richards

Is this the way it has to be,
For our poor friends over the sea?
There's famine all across their land,
Why not extend a helping hand?

A clown spouts hatred from TV -
Is this way it has to be?
An ignorant and foolish pup,
I wish to God he'd just shut up.

The bankers plunder you and me,
Propped up by gifts from treasury.
Is this the way it has to be?
Our children starve while they go free.

Watch water rise while seaboards shrink,
The globe is standing at the brink.
And soon, no sign of man or tree,
Is this the way it has to be?
