What Do You Expect?

Composer: Roger D. Linder
The world is always turning, burning, churning Facing problems so-called leaders do reject But it was us that put them there So what do you expect? There’s hunger, poverty and needing, breeding, feeding Those are things that suffer from neglect But we are slow to see these ails So what do you expect? Each solution we create Becomes a point for those that hate Their underrepresented foes Continue suff'ring all their blows It's like a sentence that is hurting, flirting, so disconcerting We try but often can't connect A neighbor often comes complaining Tell me, what do you expect? Are you treated so unfairly? Barely? Rarely? Let's take a look at what you suspect Is is just "I beg to differ?" Now then, what do you expect? Moments pass as you now ponder "Am I really in the wrong?" It really has to make you wonder How can this go on so long? Make no search for hidden meaning, left/right leaning, intervening Just treat each other with respect We may fumble as we take these actions But good may come, don't you expect?
