something happening here

we started out

with such high ideas

and grand schemes,

big plans

to do better,

be different,

no more excuses,

no more bullshit,

singing songs about

4 dead in ohio

and carrying on,

talking about

seasons of love

inside new societies

with bold, brave

futures;

but somehow

it came out

just the same;

there is something wrong

when children

wearing the uniforms

of soldiers

are dying everyday

on the streets of Iraq

for reasons

that were never

what they appeared,

only excuses

for preemptive strikes

and ulterior motives

with just a passing mention

on the evening news

while some

on her way out,

pop diva superstar

gets front page headlines

and is the big news

on all the entertainment

shows

for flashing her tit

in a staged pr move

during the half time show

of the super bowl

and no one even cares;

yes

there is something wrong

or in the words

of a time gone by;

‘something’s happening here,

what it is ain’t exactly clear’

(Stephen Stills)

but then

it never was

was it?

let’s hope

the children of today

finally get it right

before it is too late
