What about Tonight?

There's a ring around the moon tonight
But no one stops to pause
To look up at the beautiful sight
Or wonder about  its cause

There's a gunshot in the streets tonight
But no one questions why
Or stops to aid the boy's plight
Before he begins to die

There's a fracture in this country tonight
But no one ponders its effect
Or attempts to stop this spreading blight
As is grows from our neglect

There's a war in the world tonight
But no one rises to defend
The rules that governed our life's light
Because we're too engrossed in playing pretend
