Where have you been
Where have you gone
The tossing and turning
No time to dwell upon
Facts withered away
Replaced with truthiness
The cult of personality
Has added to this mess
Fright night becomes day
Horrors abhor the peace
The fury of a surge
Comes deathly like a beast
Which way to go
Here, there, I don't know
Hunkered in the bunker
Focused on nowhere to go
Meanwhile the pain builds
Yells and shouts of ignorance
Risen like an uneven tide
The decay of common sense
Open up they say
Open up regardless
The danger zone condones
Life regarded less
Even worse yet now
Under the cover of livelihoods
Expertise is disavowed
Experience viewed a falsehood
Individuality reigns supreme
At the expense of community
Self interests divides the house
Perilous is the collaborative unity
Where have you been
Where should you go
Turning and tossing
Lost in a discordant flow.
