The world in which we currently


The world in which

we currently live

can bring us down

so we must stand up

 

The world in which

we currently see

has taken its toll

on people like you and me

 

The world in which

we currently hear

talks so much

but says absolutely nothing

 

The world in which we currently taste

has so many cultures

but somehow one is still at the top

making it difficult for those at the bottom

 

The world in which we currently touch

feels incredibly soft in the edges

but don't be fooled

its sides are poison

 

The world in which we currently smell

is so full of waste

that me and billions of others

are currently holding our breaths

 

The world in which

we will die

is full of tired eyes and greedy minds

so we musn't give up
