A needed change

Location

waking up leaves a bitersweet taste

sleep is serene, its an escape

for when you awake

you're looking in the face of reality,

a reality where it seems

the bad outweighs the good

and our priorities are not understood

our society should not feel dignified

for its us who said to that little boy

no put that back, cant you see thats a girl's toy?

and its us that set the standard that made it okay

for a little girl to eat less until she starts to decay

its time for a change

we need to see that the way we treat eachother

is very stange

it starts with one persons thought

and as a society we only have one shot.
