Power In Numbers

The human race hurts my heart I think about this quite often really I'll probably never stop this belief until my spirit leaves my body in a coffin Yes we have made amazing discoveries and have evolved far beyond belief But that evolution is part of our failure We've become to advanced for our own good Animals were here long before we arrived They lived off the earth, but earth survived The food chain was still a normal part of life senseless violence and cruelty not included They follow their nature, it's kill or die yet as civilized as of a species we claim We choose conquer and control and let's make the deadliest weapon Fake green paper is the one true god but most people don't want to admit it Power and popularity overrule compassion Turning a blind eye and likes are the new fad We ignore things like mass murders the addiction and homeless epidemics And act like human trafficking doesn't exist and someone else will make needed change We are unwilling to speak up about corruption keeping our safe lifestyle is more important So we stay in our little boxes and hide as we slowly kill the planet without care Sure some people speak up against wrongs and groups gather and protest their feelings But not enough to truly make a change And because of that nothing will change I wonder what our breaking point will be when we finally stop pretending that the state of the world is in crisis and we actively all work to make it right I fear it will be far to late by that point too much damage and destruction wrought To long complacency layed in the shadow And we will not leave the world better off One voice can speak great power but the collective voice can't be ignored I just wish the greed and selfishness of human nature didn't outweigh the good Nothing will change unless we change it, shout out to the brave souls who do speak up.
