A Milestone Yet To Reach
A Milestone Yet To Reach
I see prevailing social unrest all around
Still ancient tactics of force and aggression
Applied by Protesters and Rulers as well
Our democracy is gravely imperiled
What we need is a more sensitive humane
A milestone yet to reach.
All these festering social issues
Are flamed by malicious campaigning
People snarling venomously on social media
To find a spotlight in the Digital Hall of Fame
What we need is a deeper moral reckoning
A milestone yet to reach.
A free-spirited person is attacked
In the name of nationalism and regionalism
Protectors and defenders of cultural affairs
Mortify and shame a fellow citizen
What we need is to infuse a wiser instinct
A milestone yet to reach.
A nation is riven over political ideologies
Repudiating each other for lost opportunities
Further in this ongoing Battle of Credit
Civil human behavior and sanity is lost
What we need is to build a Great Society
A milestone yet to reach.
The world is getting darker and darker
Progress is hindered by the blinkered attitude
A tug of war is played to hold power
Risking division and fragmentation of society
What we need is to embark fresh on a New Era
A milestone yet to reach.
