Make A Change

Take a good look around you
Do you see the poor going to sue
They live among the rubbish
that you chuck and demolish
The selfish and the unaware
cut down trees to share
what we want and don’t need
instead we could donate and feed
When your told that your free
to climb mountain, sail the sea
Take a good look around at people
who are taught to be sheeple
When your told that your free
to climb mountain or sail the sea
Open your mind and your heart
don’t be afraid to start
What do you define as unfairness
Would it be the cold homeless?
Or would it be the price of the Ipod
Or that you don’t have an xbox for your COD
Aren’t you ashamed that you have “everything”
and claim that you have nothing
while the unfortunate work and pray
for the shelter you have today
