live long enuff yoolsee enuff war –
yool think this is not what life is for –
yool feel all the feels feasibly feelable –
yoolbee both heart sleeve-able and heart konseelable…
live long enuff yoolhear enuff bang –
yool vibe off protest songs yoor parents sang –
yoolyawn at the yarns elected folk spin –
yoolbee both heart open and heartbroken…
live long enuff yoolsee enuff war –
yool think this is not the days of yore –
yool roar all the roars possibly roarable –
konflikts not adorable – kuntreeze are not hoardable…
live long enuff yoolhear enuff bomb drop –
yoolwish yookood command call all bomb stop –
yoolwince once more wearily – weep waspish tears –
we all be humanity – same loves – same fears…
