Can You Hear Me?

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.
