Orphans lying on the street, while no one sleeps in our empty guest rooms.

Dehydrated dying bodies, while we suffer a plastic bottle problem.

Naked beggars, while we clean out closets for the lack of room.

Sick with no doctor, while we are far sicker with our luxuries.
Oh God.
Please hear me.
Make my life better.

We'll find an open feild somewhere
I'll have flowers in my hair
You'll be nervous, I'll be scared
To start our lives anew.

My mother cries out happy tears
Your Father let's go of his fears
That you, through all these years
Would never find the one.

Your lips quiver, my hands shake
You nor I can hardly wait
We'll kiss, we'll cry, we'll cut the cake
And then I'll live a lifetime, beside you.

Do they teach you about the real things?

'Be smart,
have money,
buy her diamond rings'

Superficial kids, do we blame them?
Climb up the ladder, become kings.

Doing what your told
Trying to fit a mold
Stay young, look pretty
but your hearts getting cold.

Losing energy in dedication
Gym everyday, fit generation
Didn't like yourself before?
Couldn't fit in? Self medication.

They don't look when you pass by
Sit alone and wonder why?
Your not getting enough attention?
Forget your worries go get high.

Your focus is in the wrong place
People are dying for a taste
Of your life. That's not right?
They run an infinite race.

You were born with a privilege
Raised in the suburbs not a village
Your belly was full every meal
Yet your life's some sort of major suffrage?

You hate your own existence
Its obvious how very distant
The comparison between yours and theirs
Oh now you see? But you're resistant.

Trying to justify your thinking
Clean bottled water you're drinking
Never helped them out before.
You'll turn a blind eye again, blinking.

Scared of wasting time
This now was revealed.
I never yours, you never mine
Nor start, nor stop, but yeild.

— The End —
