It's Us as Individuals


Seems that all we do- is complain We see the flaws of our world- our home Bark and bark- but our bites are restrained Pollution, crime, freedom, trademarks, absurd law- we all loathe Yet- we do not rise to fight!! Why do the intellectuals fear such? Why must the manipulated take our light? We shut our mouth far too much Desire is- solar panels, parks, and our eco-friendly unity of the forest Letters, strikes, marches- they wont listen The individuals are ignored- larger quantity- where'st? It's us- isn't it- that is not mistaken Crime is inevitable However, it's no excuse to limit our freedom We have our rights, we must not be so dependable Learn to be strong- As one- Our asylum All these food stamp Government lending a hand- ARE WE WEAK?! NEIGH- Learn to survive- make our tramp This is the truth I speak Inferior humans that get pregnant early- such folly Value the power of education You sicken me if you take 'vantage of society daily You bring us damnation!! Why is it money is the heart of our world? Take and take all from the Earth Trademarks on every- tainted minds that churned Dying a money-greed hearse We kill for our food- please- make it humane All connected to each other Thank the Earth for what they given- remember their name I tear seeing the pains of my sisters and brothers This endless war Never for help or care- but selfish acts That purpose I much abhor Never attempted equality and leave-be, cruel facts Our power is limitless- choosing only to stay quiet hope- a belief that one will rise Can not rely on others to make riots Do you not see we are larger in size? Stop the blame, stop this game It was never them but us The individuals are forsaken and tamed Snap out of it- make some ruckus As soon as the individuals gain courage- we are late Our voice, our words, are actions they WILL not take For our home and our generations- make haste Contradictory- it's never too late.
