Nothing is as it seems
Just like disconnected dreams
A series of Ponzi schemes
And mindless silly memes

Indeed difficult times
A web of organised crimes
A matter of dollars and dimes
Eternally restless like in wartimes

Governance and trust long divorced
Profits and bottom-lines endorsed
Fear and uncertainty reinforced
Potential capabilities outsourced

Delicately balancing on a tightrope
At the cusp of a slippery slope
Barely managing to cope
Humanity struggles with hope

Our ways have been defective
Globally ineffective
High time we turn reflective
Spruce up our efforts, collective
