I find myself sitting here
Wondering what’s over there
And the only answer is nothing
When it should be something.

Because I’ve seen lives handed out,
And some being thrown out.
Yet we just sit by waiting for the next one…
Not sure if they’ve lost or won.

’cause to be freed from here,
We know, could be the only cure
A cure to the disease we’ve spread
Its the only thing our planet has been fed

Pollution, greed, destruction and more.
Its plenty more than what we hoped for.
We hoped to recreate this world
But our intentions have be swirled

We fought for our lives
Yet we destroy what is left to revive
We fought for our humanity
Yet we destroy it in pointless vanity

We’ve walked through the moments
But I refuse to ignore these events
Not sensing the countless mishaps
I keep thinking
“Perhaps..”

Perhaps someone will hear this truth
Not take it as a lie but as proof
That we need to change our ways
If not soon, then we’ll say good bye to our yesterdays

“Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot,
Nothing is going to get better. Its not.”

- E.A.F
we need to start caring
