Do You See What I See

When life gives you lemons you can make lemonade You seem pretty happy with the choices you've made You think that life is a simple cup of tea? Well tell me this, do you see what I see? I see a world full of death and destruction A world that prefers war over construction Countries run by corrupt dictators Websites just crawling with haters At this time human interaction is rough With kids strutting around, thinking they are tough Now all the victims days aren't very sunny Tell me, do you still think bullying is funny? I see individuals who hate Because of the gender that people date And people, with their reasoning thin Judge others based on the color of their skin I see pollution, confusion, and people who starve I see the downfall of humanity, due to the society we've carved I see secrets being kept by the people who rule I see people being mugged, now that's not very cool The people we fear are the ones who're supposed to protect Society is blind due to the secrets that are kept In order to progress we will have to fix ourselves, yes, both you and me Don't you see? This world needs equality Yes I know "look on the bright side of things" Be grateful for the good, and toast with a cling Yes, optimism is a trait in which I wish I had more But unfortunately, these topics are too big to ignore Do you still think that life is a pot of honey? Tell me now, do you see what I see?
