Be Accountable Or Pay the Cost
Do we care and do enough
Do we try and give as much
Back as we always give
Or is our life about hoarding things
Do we share or keep it close
Do we need or want the most
Are we driven by cravings and desires
Are we setting the world on fire
That will burn all and ourselves to the ground
Wreaking destruction with our war sounds
Are we guilty of allowing this
Will we accept accountability for it
Do we go through life with eyes closed
Mind shut down we don't want to know about it
Do we deny what's obvious
Humanity may become superfluous
In a world where there is nothing left
No more air to breathe a breath
We may all die ignorant yet
Because we could and would not do our best
To change our nature or our ways
So in the end it is no shock
That one day this arrogant human race would pay.
