New Society Blues

Flags are flying 
half-mast all around 
something’s so wrong 
with the air that we 
breathe if ever we 
meet again who knows 
where or when  oh, sweet 
mystery as philosopher kings 
wax polemic with empty 
beatitudes don’t forget us 
so relentless what’s going on
the world’s gone wrong sound
the alarm of imminent harm 
there is no explanation for 
suspicious minds the chosen 
few left behind without a trace 
like spitting atoms as choirs 
of angels sing new society blues
