The world in the present
Is so different from the past
Memories that used to stay
Now never last
Society is ever-changing
So is the world
But the only thing that hasn’t changed
Is the injustice
Always being hurled
At those who don’t deserve it
At those who suffer pain
Those who can’t get water
Places that never rain
While the government sits in their polished high chairs
Turning their heads away
While the world ends,
The government stays
While the world is torn apart
Our hearts still remain
The thing that bounds us all together
The thing that hurts us most
We are on a game show
And the government is our host
On social media
Hoax after hoax
For the world is a crimson ghost
The past haunts us,
As does the present
Our animals rapidly lessen
Stop thinking
Start talking
Stop standing
Start doing
The world is still going
But it needs some improving
Change the world in its state of decay
So protect the earth
Know its worth.
Don’t let it fade away.
