It Starts With You
Who cares when one cries?
Who cares when one dies?
Corpses are found scattered all around;
The earth is turned into a burial ground.
Pretend not to be dumb;
And your body has gone numb.
If the mayhem continues, who will survive?
Forget not your right to live.
Become not the living dead;
Rise to the occasion instead.
In togetherness, we heal;
Have the nerves of steel.
Why wait for a Samaritan!?
It starts with you;
If not you, then who?
