Quod Si (But if)...

If so many know
     whence begins the healing?
if so many care
     why is the earth still reeling?
if so many try
     why is the earth still crying
bitter tears and acid rain?

So it goes ever on
     till there will be no place
to lay our heads upon
     Here today,
but tomorrow so easily gone,
     with no one to mourn our passing
just the heavens as witness...

But then what is there to do
     when leaders babble on
speaking written lies
     and evading the truth
in voices saccharine and silken
    and  expensive suits so smooth,
searching not for answers but re-election
     leaving us to wonder what is there to do
