When?


When do we realize

When do we recgnize

When is the fact that weare not immortal come in to play

We see kids goig ninto the streets, doing drugs

Killing

Fighting

Drinking

adn dying, and this is acceptable to society

When do we realize

When do we recognize

When is the fact that we are not immortal come into play

Everyday someone loses a life

Everyday the world loses someone that mattered

Everyday we continue to go on and on as if everyting is okay in this world

And yet we still take things for granted

Change isn't an option for the majority of us because of entilment and pride and the fact that you have it all alreay

But hopefully the day we all realize and recognize that we aren't immortal and that we arent the only people on this earth 

You'll see that it was never worth holding on to that lie........
