How Do I
I ponder.
I wonder.
How do I live for money,
while millions are dying for it?
How do I appreciate life,
while it's devoured every night for dinner?
How do I keep driving,
while empty bellies are filled with pollution at every robot?
How do I make way for the mainstream,
while society is already drowning in it?
How do I feel comfortable in my own skin,
when so many have been persecuted for the colour of theirs?
How do I distract myself in churches and conference rooms,
while the earth is crumbling under these structures?
How do I live,
when "that's life"?
I ponder.
I wonder.
