To Michael Menser

There must be some light somewhere

There must be a true other,

There must be more than despair

There must be more my brother,

There must be so much unsaid

There must be an informant,

There must be some truth ahead

There must be a judgement.

There must be a little hope

There must be a truth culture,

There must be ways for us to cope

There must be a just future,

There must be somewhere to go

There must be some movement,

There must be much more to know

There must be a judgement.

There must be ears for our appeal

There must be some progress,

There must be a better deal

There must be more than dis mess,

There must be ways, there must be means

There must be some acknowledgement,

There must be honest go-betweens

There must be a judgement.

It may take God, it may take man

It may take lords of fire,

It may take burning Babylon

It may take something higher,

It may take bad rebellious youth

It may take a sane government,

It may take liars with the truth,

But there must be a judgement.
