Is it so?

It's always

The problem

People

Poor

It’s always

The challenge

People

Too radical

It’s always

The case

People

Out of their place

It’s always

The situation

People

Not radical enough

It’s always

The issue

People

On the gravy train

It’s always

The way

People

In the fray

It’s always

The predicament

People

Without voice

It’s always

The life

People

Caught in some or other strife

Just Wondering

Are we

Coming undone

At the constitutional seams

Are we

Coming unstuck

At the vine roots

Are we

Losing the plot

At the core of the institutional scene

Are we

Going up in smoke

In the heat of the moment

Are we

Trapped in a spiral

Spinning out of control

Are we

Perhaps unaware

Of the realities in this world
