Tensions are rising
No one trusts each other
Your money buys nothing
Famine, poverty, and war
This isn’t working any more
The violence grew
At first, no one knew
The depths to how far they’d go
When their backs were against the wall
Futile prayers in every language
Hurled toward the sky
“What could we have done different?!”
The news stirred the paranoia
Exacerbated by the lies
We tore each other apart
Animalistic tendencies
Escalated tactics
And mathematic contingencies
The privileged learned through social media
Some countries rioted in the streets
Others knew nothing
But in the end,
No one was spared
Our fate was intertwined
