1985 - P.I.E.

When I look into the news
I see the words that are the muse
For pundits, writers, lyricists and bards
Everything and everywhere
Everyone with no one spared
Finds themselves subjected to the barbs

When I look for sanity - Protest Is Everywhere
When I look for compassion - Power Is Everything
When I seek the good old times - Past Is Eclipsing
When I ask for kinder words - Parley Is Exempted

Fear the future, keep the past
Wonder now if I should ask
Questions, raising, bearing on my mind
Finding I am overwrought
With feelings that are all for naught
It’s always hopeless, no one else is kind

Now I look for light in dark - Progress Is Emerging
And I seek the words that heal - Perfect In Expression
Or I sing with all my heart - Polytone Is Effortless
And I see the colored lights - Purple Is Everywhere

A different take on the song P.I.E. from 2015's FAWM attempt. This one has music.
