This World, Please See

Yes please just type
Yes please just tweet
Yes please just completely
Totally, ignore me

Oh no, don’t you think
Of someone other than you
Oh no, don’t you worry
Keep your mind
Trapped inside
The realm of society

For isn’t it far easier
Than joining a life of seeing
Of caring
Of being

And righteously you complain
Because it’s absolutely insane
To only get 12 likes
On that picture you posed for just right

Poor girl, poor girl
You entreat me to say
How difficult it must be
To live without the security
Of constant encouraging

Harsh this may seem
But so real it is becoming
A world absorbed in self
As it has shunned out
All matters thought provoking

Dare you not look down the street
Suppose you see what pains me
A family dividing
A mother fighting
A daughter with insecurity rising
And hope fading away

Children starving
Orphans breaking
Victims shaking
Minds raging

So is it so odd that I go crazy

World, world open your eyes
Don’t just sit, and listen to the cries
Of our falling friends

And don’t tell me it doesn’t sting
To know what you could be doing
Yet our selfishly stung world
It’s so incapable of moving

Until one, one responds to the calling
One allows their heart to guide them
To the darkness of poverty
To be a light to the needy

It just takes one
To keep another from being alone
It just takes another
To spread the love a little further

And light the way
For revival of a drowning world
