As I think about everything you want me to be
I find myself wondering why I want to be me
with all of this pressure to lead to some success
and with this pressure I want to live up too but yet I digress
that while I cant be on this pressure filled trip
through all of my life to be more than a bip
on the radar of wider society
just a cog in the mechanism with a lack of variety
another unrecognized piece to be exploited
nothing more than a pawn to never be vindicated
of the guilt shared collectively amongst us all
for allowing our species to fall
for not inspiring any change from age old policies
full of self obsessed politicians fallacies
but what can the few do to inspire change to the many
what can anyone really do when we
allow for the repression of nations
and the ravaging of habitats with deforestation
do you honestly care about any of these issues
are you crying into any forest friendly tissues?
would you add your voice to a protest
of those that still state west is best
is this to be a legacy we leave
a planet that we have left bereaved
