Choose the World

The world is crumbling

and all you have to offer

is your opinion

 

See how many lives you save

as you watch it go to waste.

If you can save one life

make sure it is the one

that supports yours.

 

This world we call Earth

is our only hope

and we must defend it

so it may save us.

 

Save your judgement

for when you have compassion.

Use it to care

for life is everything to a mortal.

But do not fear death

it is there for life.

 

You have more in your hands

than you can see

until it slips through your fingers.

But you must hold on

and never let go.
