The will to live recedes like turning tide
That rushes back from sands it once flowed on
Hearing politicians hurts my mind
When we may not judge what’s true or lied
When everything is just interpretation
The will to live recedes like turning tide
The wish to see is not good for the blind
We must accept when vision is outgrown
Hearing politicians hurts the mind
Now there is unrest and love divides
People argue from assumptions most unknown
The will to live recedes like turning tide
Were the seeds of enmity refined?
Our virtue needs a long gestation
Hearing politicians wounds the mind
We’re numbered, Jews, for calculations
We don’t count; manipulation
The will to live recedes like moon dragged tides
Haring politicians hurts the mind
