Vortex

Vortex

I am not a vortex
Nor Ghandi amongst the people

I am not a preacher
Preaching beneath a steeple

I cannot tell you
What you already know

The evidence is obvious
We reap what others sowed

The silence and the passion
The emotion and the rage

The feeling of stupidity
We are clowns inside the cage

We all of us allow
Money to be a sacrificial cow

Worshipped more than religion
And shaping where we land

Turning our lives in turmoil
Just because it can

I cannot stop this whirlpool
I cannot stem this flow

If we collectively do nothing
We have nowhere else to go
