Lives lost are seemingly not enough to make you care
Will you see the forest for the trees?
The cries have gone unheard
Mistaken steps and wasted breaths
I refuse to believe that you fail to see what’s gone so wrong with your society
Ask yourself: are human lives a commodity?
Atrocity as a status quo is conducive to instability
Look around: what do you see?
Suffering is palpable you choose to look away
You fail your sons and daughters every fucking day
Old man, take a look at your life
Take a step back, take a look around
Old man, can you look me in the eyes
Tell me you don’t give a fuck if they swim or drown
Find a fucking answer and you will see
The addicts in the streets you can’t bear to watch
Flourishing in love and prosperity
I don’t know the answer
But I know for sure
Neglect is not the answer
And death is not a cure
