The baby was awake, screaming
Children woke the neighbours, screaming
The mother was asleep, screaming
Why does no-one help or listen?
The Dad was reading about football
Admiring heroes who were brave
He ran down to the sea and beach
And hid in his dark, silent cave
His daughter ran down after him
She said, 'Don't hide, you'll never win
Don't stay here working on your own
With her, your kids say, please come home!'
Voters did their duty voting
But the council didn't listen
Voters complained, puzzled, in doubt
Thought things could change, voted, them out
Poets sigh, unread introverts
Who wrote because no-one listened
Songwriters add music and rhyme
Will composers hear me this time?
Keen teens watched the stars and royals
Cheaters thought lovers were loyal
We all hope someone else will save
The world while we hide in our cave.
