We're going to be alright

Things are rarely what they seem

My friends across the waves

And ones closer to home

I can see you are dismayed, and without hope

The data was wrong - it caused a shock

An unexpected event when ours was forgone

I am on neither side, both have failed us of late

The powerful are pawns in an Almighty plan

The evil may not see justice in their lifetimes

But justice will still prevail

Even those who seemed certain to cause us harm

Can be used in a more masterful, grander strategy

The strong are mere mortals - here today, gone tomorrow

Shiny facades hiding bodies riddled with disease

Glassy eyes concealing fearful, demented minds

Blown about by the wind, their aims are not certain to pass

The lights in the distance are clearer from deep darkness

March onwards towards them, not turning left or right

Don’t look back at the ruin, becoming salty and bitter

Stay focused on us and what we want to build - where we want to go

We’ll get there for sure, and make it just on time

We can get back to data another week
