Like tectonic plates, growing apart
With Xitter and Facebook neatly doing their part
The legislature doesn’t really care about me
They get there money and healthcare for free
Meanwhile, we suffer from this polarization
Not just the US, but almost every nation
War, corruption and global warming give me a hopeless feeling
Almost on a daily basis, reading news leaves me reeling
Am I just a pessimist or will we really fail?
Are we watching the apocalypse in slow motion while wagging our tail
