There are 30 trillion fish on this planet
And you think you’re important here?
There are 20 quadrillion ants on earth
And you only think about yourself and your little life?
100 billion stars in the sky
And you stay in every night scrolling through your phone?
A 4.2 billion year old world
And we poison her in the blink of an eye?
2.2 million new books get added to the shelves every year
And you don’t even read?
132 suicide attempts every day. . .
And you don’t believe in being kind to strangers?
34 trillion dollars in debt
And you still get sucked into politics in this country?
20,000 people in America have been wrongfully convicted
And you want to complain about the weather today?
Break out of yourself
Rage against the cage you are in
Burn down your selfish programming
Look around and really see this world
If you
Who is a pretty decent person
Isn’t even going to try to save it
Then who the hell is?
Get off of your fucking phone and go make the world better for your kids.
A poet screaming at you the change
Usually makes you skip the page?
Blaming everyone else
Looking to others to make a difference
Ignoring the suffering in the world because it’s easier for your little life
Sheltering inside, looking out for only your own bones and skin
Is this really how you want to live?
