Hope

Not enough preparation
Leaves us overcome by desperation
Climate change acceleration
Short-changing our education
Anticipation of trepidation
As fear grips the nation

Is this supposed to be fine?
I’m frozen in time
Alone in my mind
Crossed over the line
Someone show me a sign
Message from the divine

A signal in the sky
A merciful reply
Before many more die
Let it not be a lie
No more tearful goodbyes
May glistening cheeks dry
