What do we want?
“Justice!”
When do we want it?
“Yesterday!”
What are we going to
Do about it?
“Nothing!”
Just get through today
Keep the vultures at bay
Got the Man’s bills to pay
Oh, when, then?
But when, then?
“Tomorrow! Tomorrow!
And after I’ve borrowed”
“What do we want?
“Peace!”
When do we want it?
“Yesterday!”
What are we going to
Do about it?
“Nothing!”
War’s here to stay
We have battles in play
Better kneel down and pray
But when, then?
Oh, when, then?
“Tomorrow! Tomorrow!
And after the sorrow”
“What do we want?
“Democracy!”
When do we want it?
“Yesterday!”
What are we going to
Do about it?
“Nothing!”
Time to obey
Still the Will
Kill the way
Shed your say
Blindly follow
The madness of men
Until..
When, then?
Oh, when, then?
“Tomorrow! Tomorrow!
And after the hollow”

My enjoyment of poetry was knocked out of me by an unsympathetic English teacher when I was 12, but this seems to get the point across.

More poetry, this time on the human desire for change, for peace and justice, and for humanity’s absolute unwillingness to do anything concrete for them.
