My Little Works

The Current Age

In the world we live today
We face a great ordeal
From the planet dying
To the oceans frying
And many going without a meal

Our leaders turn a blind eye
To people losing their homes
So the rich may fill their pockets
And leave Earth for Martian domes

They'd leave us with a war-torn world
All resources depleted
With the race to save our home
Being a race in which they cheated

Tensions rise from here to there
Our forests can be found nowhere
As millions go and lose their rights
But millions more come to fight

Women fight for their sacred choice
Queers fight for a needed voice
So many just wanting to see
Not a world of left or right, but one us, and we

I might not live in total luxury
But I live my life in peace
I might not sleep in a palace of gold
But I couldn't care the least

I speak my truth
I speak my mind
The feedback might not be so kind
But I know deep down who I am
And for changing that, there is no plan

So let us stand up and be strong
Side by side where we belong
To fight the battle that must be fought
To save a home that can't be bought
