Why do people act like we don't need each other?
When the fact is
We need each other!
Men don't wanna need a woman
Women don't wanna need a man
Who are you fooling?
How do you plan on reproducing?
Do you plan on reproducing?
What are you here for?

Every day of your life depends on the billions of people that go to work
every, single, day
If no one shows up to do their job
You don't eat!
You don't have any luxuries!
We enrich each others lives in every way possible
but we don't thank each other enough
We hardly even acknowledge passersby
We don't appreciate what we do for one another
We don't acknowledge all the love around us!
We don't wanna see...
I could blame a hate, money, and power driven government
but it's not their fault
We are smart!
We are powerful!
We know better!
We are better!
The government is not to blame for what goes wrong in the world
I am
and so are you
It's our fault!
We let this happen!
We watch guns tear down the life of so many humans
and do nothing
We let children be stripped from their homes to be sold as slaves
*** slaves!
We let our earth become a wasteland!!
We did this!
Not the government!
The government is not that powerful
We are!
We decide what happens next.
