Forgetting

We laugh at a joke Cry when watching a movie Fight over something stupid Yell over a silly comment Scream over and insult Then go back to laughing at that same joke Loving life Hating life Living life The little things seeming so big And the big things we just ignore The TV shows we get so into And the news We just change the channel How is that we all go on normally Thoughtless Mindless Acting like everything is ok And we do this not because we are bad people Or that we don’t care We do this to live To go on We forget We make our selves forget And we ignore the sad commercials We ignore The Newspaper To flip to the cartoons We do this like nothing So normal And we laugh at that joke Cry when watching a movie Then we see that commercial About that little girl Who just wants clean water And our hearts stop But we quickly.. Fight over something stupid Yell over a silly comment Scream over and insult Then go back to laughing at that same joke Because we have to live So, yeah, we forget And we ignore So we can wake up every morning So we don’t go crazy What else could we do? What else can we do? What else…will we do? So we move on Forgetting, ignoring Loving, hating Living So What do you forget?
