One Word is Enough

It was the celebration of progress

And the song of modernity blared out

Life's rules were the same as jazz, and

Everything depended on pretty much nothing

But now all the billions of us,

Watch as the song of modernity

Crumbles to silence.

We see rising numbers, vanishing lives

Sickness dances in the breeze

Like an angry ballerina

Wrecking havoc on the past, present, 

And future

And the whole world, all the billions of us

Are searching, praying, hoping, crying, 

For one word and one word only:

Healing
