If Only (Dreams of Love)

by @kenya83

Craving more than what we've got A desire burns and it burns a lot I'm not speaking monetary I know the answer is in me How can I affect humanity Save the children from the horror of war Stop the bullets that take animals to the floor Feed the homeless and the poor End our planets suffering core I'm a dreamer, But they are dreams of love If only peace would fly Like the dove If only our priority was kindness And life was priceless If only we took what we need Instead of being governed by greed Take, take, take, and when it comes to giving back Generosity seriously lacks It's not my problem We have nothing in common It doesn't affect me So just let it be It's not my family, Nor my community It's not my country, it doesn't bother me It's not my ocean So continue to fill it full of poisonous potion They're not my animals, Who cares if they go extinct I'll breath in toxic air So long as it doesn't stink Be complacent And you're complicit to all these things Take responsibility For the outcome that it WILL bring
