Is It Worth Saving?
Is it worth saving?
The world where
boy has to love girl
and girl must love boy
and if it is not like this
it is not love
and you're cast away like a broken toy.
Is it worth saving?
The world where
skinny is the definition of pretty
so much so that girls
sit skipping meals
because that is the appeal.
Is it worth saving?
The world where
we slaughter each other;
we separate children from their mother
from fathers, husbands, wives
because we dropped a bomb
to save - but **** - millions of lives.
Is it worth saving?
The world where
a book governs billions of lives
Where millions are killed to keep its lies
We worship an idea at best
and if you don't believe you have failed every test.
Is it worth saving?
The world where
a father calls his son weak
for letting his emotions leak
from his secluded brain
Because if you are anything but cold
you are avowed a freak.
Is it worth saving?
The world where
women are shamed upon
for having a voice
that is not just quiet and full of rejoice
Where girls are told to be sweet
to the man who she witnessed beat
her mother who worships his feet
Where girls should not
be difficult or demanding
because they are not the ones to be commanding.
Is it worth saving?
Because all I see
Is a world that has too many problems;
Needs too much fixing;
But you can not fix something
That does not intend on changing.
