I wish I could be high above the city

You know when I look around

At all the blood and hate

The dirty lies being told

I wish I could zoom out

And sit on the clouds.

No one here is listening

We are dying

And the worst part?

We are killing ourselves.

We know the solutions, we have all the answers

Yet somehow everyone here has decided

To fight and bathe in ignorance.

How about rather than “blue or red”

We think about alive or dead.

Our world is burning

People are crying

People are sick

People are dying!

And everyone here seems to think

That their ego matters more than life itself.

Worshiping politicians like gods.

Following blindly because a man in a suit said so?

Stealing personalities off of the internet?

It’s pathetic.

And what do we do? We fuel the fire

Start them early

Buy your 5 year old a screen

Before they even know what it means,

to be themselves.

So I’ll watch from high above the city

As we crash and burn our only home.
