i see these news clips,
the stories that go around
and it rips me apart inside

i spend hours thinking about it,
the struggles those people go through

the attacks,
the murders,
the rapists,
the brutality,
the war,
the innocent people
paying in blood,

i see it all and i want to speak up,
shout "it's not okay" from the roof tops,

i'll bring it up at lunch
but my friends don't care,
they don't think they have to,
because "we're just kids"
and "we're too young to understand"

we are the indifferent generation,
because our voices were taken away,
and our opinions were silenced,
before we even had a chance to express them
