It’s 4 am and I can’t help but wonder
How we live with the knowledge
Of the pain within others.
Within those with no shelter.
No resources.
No freedom.
It’s 4 am and I’m confused
On how we dare harm our planet.
Our home, our everything.
How we prefer to feed our needs
Rather than spare the earth
A bit of torture.
It’s 4 am and my heart aches
at the thought of intentional harm.
At the thought of incompetent behavior.
Overproduction of animals, plastic,
Cruelty.
Just for the consumption of greed.
It’s 4 am
And my previous mistakes
Of careless, selfish actions
Rightfully taunt me.

Please understand that actions have consequences, any bit of good will add up. Use less plastic, eat less animal products, and donate your time along with your resources to those in need (your knowledge can also be shared, one does not understand their harm until given the facts).
