The Ones

The valves have been opened
The hot air released
A fear reignited
And the temperature increased

It goes on and on and on
I hope the best is still to come
So let's take care
Of the ones we love

There's facts and there are fables
And they speak for themselves
The fake news keeps on coming
Poisoning the well

Lacking a consensus
On what is true or not
Cynics and conjecture
Invite us to join the dots

The pressure's growing
How can we still be heard
The young are working harder
For less than they deserve
