Consciences Are Thin

Dark slide grind

Skating around issues
Breaking ice around in spheres 
Wearing gaudy skirts that sparkle
In the wind
People never believe things until 
It’s the end

What will it take to convince?
Social issues don’t mean a thing if there is no world to have them in
Politics and latest fashions are useless since, 
It takes more then enough time to win
Affections of green paper and greedy oil corporations
Expansions, folding of ill-will and shady ways
Consciences are thin, now-a-days

It's a lot easier to ignore and deny
Then to right oneself and imply
Goodness to the World

If I put all these facts into a binder, present them in a sense
Of pure simplicity and smack-you-in-the-face 
reality
Would you still deny the fact that we are becoming past tense
Killing what makes us real in the first place, Certainty 
Isn’t what it was, anymore 
Dashboards won’t save human ideas and massive clots of minds
Darning of holes in layers unknown can’t stop Mother Earth exploding from it’s 
core

At times, it’s really not that easy to ignore 
					the signs

Global Warming, it’s Happening. Let's Join Together and Do Something About It.
