Armed soldiers in Gaza
Shoot starving people queueing for food
Politicians in Congress
Vote to conceal evidence of child sex trafficking and rape
And then leave town
Immigrants whose only crime
Is being in the U.S. without filling out paperwork
Are herded into concentration camps
Where, handcuffed, they are forced to kneel to eat like dogs
War rages in Ukraine
Though we now barely hear of it
Such does the din of other crimes and conflicts
Distract us from its ongoing horror
People are starving and bleeding
Crying and dying
Left homeless, destitute, hopeless
Day after day after day
All by choice
For we have the power to end all war
All violence
All oppression, privation, want, pain
If we only choose to do so
The time has more than passed
For us to rise up as one Humanity
And make the only choice
That is Just
Let us turn
From those who foster these evils amongst us
And collectively do what is Right
For us all
