The Change

The Earth should learn from the wise

open its eyes & quit believing those lies

the sun beats down with its radiance and heat

priorities in looks

seems to have people hooked like a fish

swimming aimlessly

a complementary to those lies is rot and decay

Nothing was there to begin with

individuality is humanity

why would you want to be like anyone else

give the world all you have to offer

don’t make that an offer

give it and live it and never give up

you can never do enough

I know it can be tough

the ride may be rough

but remember who you are

you are strong

we are meant to get along

we are meant to be free and be one with the breeze

in the trees

humanity is part of nature

therefore we are slowly destroying a part of ourselves

the change starts now

the change will be like dominoes

beautiful like a rose

so use your nose, can’t you smell that putrid hatred

the disgust and the lust

all of these things will accumulate rust

they are not meant for us

let us love one another

singing with each other as we join hands

throughout the lands

let us take a stand

don’t say you can’t
