What has happened to the world we live in
What has happened to the country we live in
Have I lost my mind
Have we all become blind
Change is inevitable, but this is too much
We can\'t do it all at once
Sometimes I feel like I\'ve been silenced
There\'s too much violence
Don\'t arrest me or send me away because you don\'t like what I have to say
I thought this was a free country with free speech
Please don\'t preach
Maybe we just need to impeach
Covid, masks, distancing social change
It feels so strange
Covid was a deadly disruption to society
It causes anxiety
School classes were cancelled for lengthy periods of time
What about the education of future generations
Can we ever make up for lost time
What about those of us in our prime
Vaccines were desired and we had to stand in line
So much death and destruction
Vaccines were controversial
They eventually became universal
Now we worry about long covid
It seems like the whole world has exploded
What about the trauma of loss of life and the devastation to the economy
Life became an anomaly
Then there was George Floyd and after that January sixth
Was it an insurrection or a riot or an exercise in free speech
Does anyone really know
What a show
Wildfires and heatwaves
Choking on the smoky stench and burning my lungs
We\'ll never be the same
It\'s a terrible shame
Our medical system has been turned upside down and inside out
Can we ever recover
I\'m not sure it\'s possible
It\'s wildly improbable
The FBI and their S.W.A.T. team raided the home of an ex-president
I Believe they set a new precedent
Life, corruption and stupidity bring chaos
Does this country even have a boss
The shock trauma to society has changed my perspective on life
Certain groups of people get a free pass
Others just get targeted
I feel like my house has been gutted
