Going Uphill

A twisted world with rules that are
Bent and broken almost every day.
The clouds cover and hide every star
Trying to peak through. Every ray
Of sunshine is hard to recognize
Through the climate change and
Their deniers. As the other eyes
Across the world watch, the hand
Of this country becomes unclean
And dirty, starting with our president.
I want to see this earth in green
Nature. People have already spent
Too much time trying to undermine
All of the work we have done to
Move this country into the sunshine.
It should take more than just you
And me to move this country ahead,
Away from the shadows. Two steps
Forward instead of back. Thread
The string to pull us together
Instead of apart and separated.
We navigate through the weather,
Good or bad. No more outdated
Ideas because we should be catching
Up to everyone else when we lag
Behind. We are barely scratching
The surface and not the main drag.
