I'm hearing sounds
Right now at this moment
That have me wondering
"Why?"
Why are the sounds of songbirds
Now drowned out by computer hums?
And keyboard clicks?
Why is the sight of a great forest
Removed without care
And replaced with your upper middle class housing?
Do we need more real estate?
Why can't I walk out to a sunrise
Instead of a brick wall?
Why can't I enjoy the moonlight,
Without the orange glow of a street lamp
In my peripherals?
Society moved to far forward
And much to fast
I'm just trying to enjoy my Earth,
I'm just trying to make it last...
