Behind The Screen


Behind the screen everyone is a critic.
Behind the screen everyone has got something to say.
Behind the screen everyone has the answer.
Behind the screen everyone can see the day.
To watch such cruelty shoved in our faces
and then complain that someone else doesn't change it.
Starvation, poverty,
little girls with inadequacies,
but who are you to find more food
or change one's anatomy?
Let us break free from  routine and caffeine.
Let us stop looking at what's behind the screen.
