"Songbird vs. Rattlesnake"
Words that echo often now
He could "use a canary."
Power offering harbor for desperate
Power crushing weak
Hades and Eurydice
Snow and Lucy Grey
The Wizard and Elphaba
Power oppresses– a sad fact.
And many are the Hermes,
lonely observers or narrators,
not changing but accepting.
"See people get mean
When the chips are down."
Welcome to Hadestown
where we repeat what we're told
"Why do we build the wall?
to keep us free."
"The enemy is poverty"
True, yet no one prevents the enemy.
Billionaires thrive on the enemy.
"Men are kind until they aren't"
Eurydice screams and laments
Facts of life.
"I believe that we are many
I believe that they are few"
The few shouldn't decide
What is true.
What is true is
"Doubt comes in"
"It's a sad song
But we sing it anyway."
We hope that it will change
Things aren't to end only one way
We repeat and repeat for hope.
Hope for something new.
Hope for the dreamers
Hope for a new tragedy.
