It's not you...
but maybe it is
Because you hate them
even though they're just like you
You mirror them
rejecting a reflection that never asked for your opinion
Demanding change from things you never even touched upon
While standing on your righteous patch of ground
You declare that no other could see the world as you do
But your eyes are closed...
I'm confused by your anger
Shouting as street signs for not being trees
parking lots that are not meadows
people
Who just turn away because they think you're insane...
Doomsday won't come tomorrow just because you didn't plant as many trees as you took breaths today
So slow down
please...
Take my advice
our advice
the worlds advice
Take it all and just, come down from your ivory tower
We can take down the bricks together
Plant as many trees as you take breaths in a lifetime
If you could just take the time to listen
you won't lose everything in translation
