Spinning out of control, today one word–
tomorrow another, losing hope
Can we recover from this, can the universe
tolerate imbalance, lost hope
Anxiety looms with indecision, no conviction
where popular wind blows, false hope
Power of the few, seemingly white
and male, no hope
Can we find the courage to empower our daughters,
give voice to the oppressed, glimmer hope
Holding those accountable, raising the bar,
stripping greed and ego, some hope
Looking for the good, caring for each other,
thoughtful words, kind actions, contagious–all hope
