Shallowness is so well known
People; Americans are so blind to the surroundings
We take for granted everything we have
Rarely doing something to help one another
Tragedy, turmoil, tormenting the people around us
But who cares?
So many people are selfish, moving on with their lives
Acting like everything is peachy keen when it is anything but that
Americans, we are so fortunate
Food, shelter, love, and hope for many
Jobs and money, and so many opportunities
Yet, complaints are carried through air
Will we sit and be silent?
Are we going to do nothing?
Watching around us, as people are tortured?
Dying from disease
Raped, abused, neglected
Losing hope, lost sights of love
Teens dying, people taking their own lives
One life lost, one less soul
Will we watch in wonder?
Not doing anything to make a difference?
Would someone just care?
Would someone just take a stand for what is right?
Murdered for morals
We have freedom
Open opportunities
Letting them slip by
Places of hope and help
We take all this for granted
Will our eyes ever be opened?
Open to what goes on around us?
Sometimes things are hard to endure and think about
But we need to take a stand for what is right
Lend a helping hand for once
