we ask this as a multitude not as a series of individuals we are not one as we stand we are not to sit idly by we are too many to go unheard so we ask ourselves are we able we wish to set a stamp on this world we wish to send it somewhere better than itself we wish to fix what is here we realize then that we cannot inhabit all that is so we remain here, asking others are we able we realize that things are gradual we realize that the world moves slower than us we individually might not last long enough to do anything we might not allow for much change in our lifetime we, through generations, pass our message on so that we collectively just might pull it off so we ask our sons and daughters are we able might we be more than carbon and water, if we wish? might we use our carbon for more than methane? might we speak wisdom beyond our ability to comprehend? might we fix the broken lands? might we fix the broken people? so we ask the broken are we able we cannot hold a kings ransom we can do more than horde our items we try not to choke in the collective smog of business and politics we struggle to breathe for we know what can be done we hope others take our message we want it to grow with the children so we ask the future are we able
