Good enough is never enough

We operate in a fast global world
Where service is the key to business
and competition always is relentless
so what we do is never enough

It's the 'rat race' that you get trapped
Speed is vital you realize early on
every breadth is a gasp to push more
still you know that's just not enough

Longing for moments of peace and quiet
Not knowing where to turn or return
shows a society under corporate seige
where the task is always unfinished

The rate of return is dollars only
how they make it must be fair
pose questions seeking answers
for life is as good as what we do.

Death marches on

In a continent that started
an ancient civilization
The forces at play find
violent riddles of terror
with deep emotional conflict
and consequences spreading far

Those who have been elected
Should hasten to reason with
opposing sides unrelenting
Those who proclaim to know
the word of God should refrain
preaching hateful violence.

The voices of reason and peace
missing so far in dire crisis
must speak up against requital
and hasten an urgent quest to.,
Save innocent lives deserving
Dignity, Peace and Happiness
