*****

what’s really happening

all over our world
all over our world
all over our beautiful world

the people

the people
are rising
like so many radiant suns

to say

that’s not what is happening
that’s not what is happening
that’s not what is happening

it’s not what you say

what’s really happening
what’s
really happening

what’s really happening here
right now
is

this
