The world is Hypocritical.
And we know it to be true,
Yet we whine and complain
When we end up with the short straw.
As a society we are so consumed
In the thoughts that please
Our immediate wants, and greed.
We do not care about the outcome=
The long term effects-
No- we care about us.
We care about our children, our families and pets
Not about our neighbors, co-workers,
Or the homeless person you pass everyday.
We want people to feed the world and
The children who are starving,
Yet we don’t want to give the food ourselves,
We want to help the environment,
Yet we sit for hours in Chicago traffic twice a day.
We want to say we put our families first,
Yet we work 9-5 with overtime.
We want all of these things,
But only if they are free.
