i cannot understand why no one is doing anything
we all know things are wrong
that we are unhealthy
whether in our greed
or our complacency
or our ignorance
or our pride
or our body
the problem is obvious
and it is simple
whether or not it is oversimplified
because regardless of who does what with
nothing changes
without you doing something
the society repeats our complaints incessantly
yet ostracizes the artist for holding a mirror
through words
on the truth that we have believed for far too long
that has made our overall health
what it is today
do not accuse an artist of preaching
because that is what we do
our hand, our word, our chord
fertilizes the soil
that allows the common man to escape
after a hard day’s toil
give us our moment to try to explain
the astonishment we have
I have
about why everyone knows
life is not correct right now
yet still not bad enough
for anyone to do anything about.
