Our planet is getting hotter
My rage is growing hotter
Our hearts are freezing over
Soon it may all be over
Life starts as we head off to school
Set regiment, science, math, reading, a little break to eat
Are we teaching humans, or training robots?
The history shown, is simply a record of lies
Columbus caused a massive genocide, riots spurred against our exceptional revolution
Government was started by, 55 rich white males who could now make their own rules
Even now, children are shown the rhetoric of greed
Money makes the world go round, go ahead join the system
Spin in circles with them as the worse off get worse off, and you know the rest
Have we lost the meanings of our lives?
Entangled with only our family and friends
Though none of that is wrong, I can’t help asking why we are here
Trapped within our own worlds, ignoring the cries of help
Empathizing with their losses, voicing how they’re treated wrong
Yet no one rises to make the change, everything stays as it always does
Please listen to me, oh can’t you see
Our planet is getting hotter
Our rage should be getting hotter
Yet out hearts are freezing over
Upon this path, soon it’ll all be over
Grasp change within your own two hands
We’re not here to make suggestions, so freedom we’ll demand

Thanks for reading! I have read your poem and it was a brilliant tribute to the Taj Mahal, I just don't usually comment on poems, a personal fault of mine.
