We're in a slow tumble,
sleepy-eyed...
The whole country a quack,
paying now and forever.
They say it's our fault.
Maybe it is...
Thinking of the kids...
We deserve to be stepped on.
But I believe
we can shake ourselves out of this.
Changing those at the top
to the bottom.
Going back to the beginning,
common sense and hard work...
A friend to earth and sky and self.
