A State of Our Nations Address

Profit at any cost
into the pockets of the few
who add it to their wealth
trickle-down a lie
Our democracies (global)
dependent on our enemies
& betrayed
surprisingly by The Right:
GOP, Trump,
the London Laundromat
Corruption (sorry!
“sleaze")
Human nature I suppose;
Oh well ...

Dear Labi,

I want to send you a fan mail but I can’t find your email address so I am writing here. Thank you for your songs and thank you for inspiring me to be kinder and spiritually stronger. I hope you are doing okay and I wish I could have a conversation with you about how I feel so seen and validated in your songs and in the story of your life.

All the best
Ali
