Jul 2014
Wasting away in front of white screens,
They forgot it all and what it means.
Trapped in a mindset of people beneath things.
Money over morals,
Power over compassion.
"Who cares about who is starving, it's about what's in fashion!"
Forget injustice beyond your immediate day-to-day,
Because people never care for an opposing opinion or what you really have to say.
Consumerism ate away our brains,
We work -work -work to buy,
Just as we have been trained.
Nothing can stop this generation from their fixation on the material *******.
Will it ever be enough?

WAKE UP.Β Β remember what's important, when this world comes crashing down.
