Here we are
A new decade
In the 21st Century
Move over
2020 is all about clarity
The air is limited
But I got enough to breathe
No monoxide poisoning
While all the big fishy's are slowly dying
Rinse repeat
Let the ocean breathe
Like you and me
Overseas
Under the stars
Comes night again
But we pray
that the daylight saves us
When we wake
To the singing in the trees
Birds flying
At heights never seen
All the blue and green
The whites dying
Above and below me
I wonder what the kids see
Their planetary destruction
Started way before
This air they breathe
Vaping like there's no 3rd degree
burning
Learning young
Our flaws of past centuries
Thoughts and prayers
Sentiments we don't need
Heed the call
Gather round kids
Don't be undermined
By the slavery
Around the world
There are things you don't see
Maybe you'd never believe
But taking chances
When you take a glance
At how we aren't any more advanced
Then the rest of them
Might break the chains
That keep us binded
Blinded
In empathy
Over you vs me
It's all of us
Trust me
We all need to take a breath
Give a breath
Give a damn
Just breathe
Sea to sea
See what they don't want you to see
A part of them is a part of you
It's a part of me
That made living
So much harder
To believe
People forced into killing one another
due to the state of beliefs
Passed down
Through generations
Of old school memories
Be a leader in the new school
Keep some oxygen
For the rest of them
Drop the guns
The mini-bombs
We don't need them
As protection from our own violence
Recreated
Like we were born to hate
Shorten the lives and other peoples fates
When we won't even have a planet
To pass down
No more human extinction
By the hands of our ancestors
We were born to breathe
Til our last breath
Let it not be taken by power and greed
Put your money where your mouth is
Hey kids
How you gonna live
beyond what the hatred did
Fires burning
Choking up with smoke
No more hydrogen
For the future gens
Less we give a little
Take a little
And spread
what humanity we have left
In our beliefs
That the world could still be
A better place
For those born in form
That want to birth
Another form
Of human decency
Please
It's up to us
To place the trust
that we go hand in hand
In the lands
That unite us
Rather than separate and divide us.
We all come from somewhere
We weren't born alone
We came from our mothers
Also born of this earth
Time to give back
The first breath
Like it's been our only one
To give a damn
Keep on breathing
Keep the breath moving
Pass it on
Oxygen
We need it
