Does Anyone Care
The world's a mess,
it's hard to take a single breath.
Smog so thick,
air can make you sick.
It's not happening to me,
why would I care?
Kids ducking under desks,
bombs dropping in the night.
Blood on hands,
bullets in the chest.
Not mine,
I don't care.
The world's on fire,
ice is melting.
It's not near here,
I'm safe.
A knock on the door,
a hand pulls a trigger,
I can't breathe,
in my final moments,
all I can think is,
does anyone even care?
