In this world of capitalism,
we're driven by consumerism.
We act out of a sense of entitlement.
At times, we order others like a servant.
We think we deserve our rights,
and just for that we'll fight.
Just so that we can win,
We'll raise our voice and create a scene.
In our competitive society,
There is so much emphasis on productivity.
We end up becoming exploitative.
Can the outcome really be positive?
We need to think carefully,
if we can live with ourselves comfortably,
when most of our gain,
is built on another's pain.
Perhaps we should really see,
that we're not much different.
You and Me.
There's so much more that we could be.
Be the change that you want to see.
To others, they might be somebody:
A daughter, a sister, a lover, a wife.
Please give some honour to their life.

In a society where we have migrant workers and domestic maids in our homes, waiters and waitresses serving us at tables, factory workers who are exploited to produce the very clothes we wear. It is a productive society, where people are valued for what they produce, not who they are. Let us start by being the difference, to give each and every person respect, despite their position, to restore more humanity to our society.
