If Only This World Was Alive
Though we walk and we talk and we breathe the ever moving air.
Even though we set certain goals, reproduce, and interact with one another.
This world we live in is DEAD.
Yes, we have all the necessities we need to survive yet people continue to die.
Thousands upon millions upon trillions upon even more beings,
Humankind alike has walked this planet.
Plants have grown and withered away before our very eyes without us even knowing.
Still with all the wealth, the silvers and golds, plants and creatures that's on this place.
This world is barren.
It's NAKED.
Parts of it has a lack of purpose while others lack courage.
It seems as though the world has forgotten how to DREAM.
It has forgotten how to stand out from the others.
Instead it's fallen in the imaginary line of look-a-likes, pretenders, and frauds.
It's become a drone programmed to be just like the rest.
Forced to believe that it's NOTHING.
YOU are nothing.
Just, a dot on an orbit, in a galaxy, in an ever-growing space.
This "world", this "universe", that we live in, is existing NOT living.
When will it live again?
I wonder...
