DAY 6 / VILLANELLE

We had honestly set so high the bar,

But the fear scared people back,

What happened? We had come so far.

 

We’re governed by “The Apprentice” star,

And men high on crack,

We had honestly set so high the bar.

 

We’re forced to listen to the man who has the fancy car,

But he doesn’t know shit, he doesn’t know jack.

What happened? We had come so far.

 

We’re taught to fear the man who says, “Allah Hu Akbar”.

We’re taught that color doesn’t matter unless you’re black.

We had honestly set so high the bar.

 

On billions of lives we left this unforgettable scar,

But I thought we were setting things on the right track.

What happened? We had come so far.

 

Unfortunately for now these are the way things are.

We need to refine humanity and decrease what we lack.

We had honestly set so high the bar,

What happened? We had come so far.
