A world away, we might be delivered judgment day
and here at home, everything is going wrong
Oligarchs play games with us for which we'll pay
and we're waiting for the sound of the final gong
Across the country, droughts threaten power
and we watch in horror as politicians fail
They wonder why we are all so sour
as the food's expensive as hell, even on sale
Hatred grows toward the government types
people not trusting the news
Grown sick and tired of all the hype
and tired of the crying and endless blues
Violence fills the streets from town to town
and there are fewer left to hold the line
When all hell breaks loose, there's no siren sound
and for help, you're left to pray to the divine
Prices continue to climb higher and higher
while wages barely grow
A warring country drags bodies to the fire
and people pray for a haven in which to go
Power and money rule the world without fail
and those in power care very little about the little guy
Endless rhetoric and empty promises without fail
while carbon emissions continue to fill the blue sky
It's 2022, and the next year looks no better
as the world faces incredible rough times ahead
Once filled with so much water, we need it to get wetter
but without a heavenly miracle, we'll just be burying more dead
From rampaging droughts to war after war
and endless economic problems from a virus
Far-reaching is 2022's plan and there's still more
it's the years that felt like the world was after us
"I think the world's gonna end bloody."
Dean Winchester, Supernatural

Writing has become more important as I live with cancer. It's a therapy, it's an escape, and it's a way to do something lasting that hopefully leaves an impression.
