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.
