When water became water, not lemon and lime, I drank for the pleasure, not to pass time. When bread became bread, not pizza and cake, I'm hearing my stomach, and it needs a break. When danger becomes danger, not fear on a screen, I stopped checking corners for foes unseen. When fire becomes fire, not mirrors and smoke, my friends sit together, and nurture our hope. When food becomes famine, and future unknown, we'll treasure our friends, instead of our homes.

When Water Became Water
When water became water, not lemon and lime, I drank for the pleasure, not to pass time. When bread became bread, not pizza and cake, I'm hearing my stomach, and it needs a break. When danger becomes danger, not fear on a screen, I stopped checking corners for foes unseen. When fire becomes fire, not mirrors and smoke, my friends sit together, and nurture our hope. When food becomes famine, and future unknown, we'll treasure our friends, instead of our homes.
About: About breaking free of the conditioning of living in a very consumerist society.
