Last chances
Last chances
The news it drags me down
It’s all just for sport,
What’s the score? Time is wasting
Humanity’s last chances
The day is long, and all I want
All I want is … some relief
Can you give me that?
Can you give it to me straight?
We don’t even know what we don’t know
Drawing circles on an empty page
Masters are all mad, let them crumble
And we’re all just waiting for it to change
Sorrow it drags me down
I saw it on the news
The end is coming
It’s all just for sport
The news it drags me down
Don’t even know what we don’t know
Drawing circles on an empty page
And we’re all just waiting for change
Don’t know how long we have
Don’t know if we can change
Only know life is beautiful,
If we give it a chance
Drawing circles on an empty page
Masters are all mad, let them crumble
And we’re all just waiting for change
Give it a chance, we’ll never have it again
~ Camille
“Last chances” is a restless lament — a poem about news-fatigue, power’s theatre, and the ache for relief while the world keeps asking for change.
Printed in vibrant red ink on earthy oatmeal-toned recycled paper, this piece moves like a pulse between despair and insistence — a reminder that life is still beautiful, if we give it a chance, and we may not get another.
