about

There is an old Chinese curse, "May you live in interesting times".
Perhaps there's more than one kind of "infection" to blame for our current "interesting times".

Interesting Times
© Vikki Appleton Fielden, August 2020

It’s in the air, it’s everywhere
My love, we live in interesting times
And anyone at all can share it
Alas, we live in interesting times

Some are worried, call for change
Others laugh and see no danger

If you got gold, you can buy the news
And facts can be whatever you choose

The world is burnin’ up with fevers,
Shakin’ with storms and hellish leaders

The real disease ain’t nothin’ new
It’s been around longer than me and you

Friends, the cure we really need
Is for hate and fear and lies and greed

Alas, we live in interesting times
Feeling hopeless? That’s too easy
My love, we live in interesting times
There’s work to do, so let’s get busy
And let us end these interesting times
There’s work to do, so let’s get busy
And let us end these interesting times
