Ensnared in greed's deadlock
Where I can't open the lock
To the barn in which kindness stock
That humankind in its hour of need
Longs to free its soul from the greed
That frustrates the compassion feed
To save humankind from self destruction
Embedded in the social malfunction
In need of urgent rehabilitation and action
To braid the dreadlock
On which the empathy cock
Banishes spirits that mock
Restoration of rights unbroken
For the poor and the vulnerable forsaken
In curses in verses spoken
In tones filled with foresight
Both during the day and at night
To remove the blight
That bedevils my society
In every manner variety
That overlooks satiety
Which unless cured
To remove injustice lured
Into chords featured
In bonds of slavery
That overlook bravery
To promote the delivery
Of a more just social order
Which melts the border
Between fairness and unfairness for good removes disorder.
