Is There Any Way?

Is there any way to stop this?
how long can we stand it?
is there any way to stop this
right now?

Is there any way to stop this?
how long must we stand it?
is there any way to stop this
right now?

Have you ever seen
the faceless gray ghosts and angels
crawling on the streets?

where do they go?
will they ever have the choices that will
make us human again?

Is there any way to stop this?
how long can we stand it?
is there any way to stop this
right now?

Is there any way to stop this?
how long must we stand it?
is there any way to stop this
right now?

There's no rights
there's no equality
there's no love
for the fateless gray weak faces

Is there any way to stop this?
how long can we stand it?
is there any way to stop this
right now?

Is there any way to stop this?
how long must we stand it?
is there any way to stop this
right now?

I wrote this because sometimes I feel quite angry and desperate at the current economic and social inequities we all live. Somehow I feel today it is not as bad as it was like two centuries ago, but still it is not enough. How long will take us to fix this?
