What’s killing us, Babe?
What got us
all torn up
and going crazy?
Is it the passing
of loved ones and time?
Or is it something
we can’t define?
What is it, Babe?
Is it the wars,
or politics,
or something
not so obvious,
like this
never ending winter?
I think
it might be time
to take our lives
away from all this,
but how far can we go?
Just say the word, Babe.
I’ll quit my job
and we can hit the road.
Get out there
and live,
wild and honest.
Sow an new harvest
somewhere far away
from what’s killing us, Babe.
