Needless Death
What will drive us to act
on the needless deaths
from mental health crisis
It's not about personal failure
Not bad character
Not individual flaws
It's collective responsibility
Why does it not devastate us
to read about yet another death
It could be you
It could be me
It will be all of us
If we do not act
Systems will save us
So we must create them
New systems
that we imbue with hope
that we stitch with love
that we repair with our own pain
Vibrant
responsive
systems
must be forged by humanity
for humanity
to save us from ourselves
