In an individualistic society we forget
That all of us need safety nets..
*
Life is in the best of times, unpredictable
You may be one step away from being unable
To work, have medical coverage, or enough to eat
Though today you can do more than just make ends meet
There is a precarious balance in life that can be
Disturbed by a single event unfortunately
With your resilience you would eventually get back on your feet
But doing it all alone would be an extraordinary feat
*
Our hard-working, law-abiding citizens need safety nets
That catch them before they fall, we should not let
Them languish in the trenches when struck by a stroke of bad luck
Our social systems should pull them out of the muck..
*
Individually we all do our part to survive
But it is by collective effort that we thrive
Passion...unbridled
