WHAT’S GOING ON

Marvin Gaye’s song, “What’s going on?”

A question

Perhaps a suggestion

What’s happening to an untamed world?

A word full of hate

Change can ‘t penetrate

A rising voice won’t stand to illustrate

Cries into moans

Tomorrow on daily sorrow

The world’s hearts flourishing on being shadow

Fist up ready for every fight

Guns adding to the might

What’s going on?

A world that was once on love and respect

It has come to reject

A world nobody knows

But is there understanding in the asking?

It’s the search for change in participate
But it becomes greater into getting enough

Some see it as a bluff

We can’t let go

We must follow through

What can we all do?

Let’s look to pursue

That’s what is going on
