Look At Us Now

Look at us now

How far we have come 

Yet how far behind we still are

Do you see all the blood we’ve spilled?

Scarlet red decorating our hands like flower petals

Blooming around and around our snow-white skin

Do you see how much pain we have caused the world?

Look at us now 

Living, breathing, drinking the dream

Climbing all the mountains and swimming all the oceans

While they torment through their nightmares

Caged in behind the dark foggy swirls of a starless night sky

 Look at us now

Standing by in all our freedoms

Knowing that they will never be able to touch us

Or get past the adamant charcoal wall with jagged edges as sharp as spears

Serrated enough to kill and spill their dark liquid that we have come addicted to

So much so it mars our streets and houses like a wildfire

Look at us now 

How far we have come

Yet how far behind we still are
