How does one even attempt to clean up chaos?

A brush
A broom
A mop
A pair of hands and more

A bag
A rake
A rag
Strong hands & backs galore

Have things gotten out of hand
With the destruction all around?
As hopeless as it all seems,
Can we maybe get some relief?

A push
A pull
A tug
A new set of eyes to see

A wish
A heart
A hope
Freshness out of ashes to be

Have things gotten out of hand
With destruction all around?
As hopeless as it all seems,
Can we maybe get some relief?

May we find ways
To set straight the broken
And wipe clean the slate.
We have not yet gone too far
And may it never be too late.
