Just Say No

Just Say No

Look at the embers
The smoldering remnants of a lost world
Destroyed by arrogant world leaders
Mere children fighting over their toys
Arguing over the size of their manhoods
How did they let it go so far
How could we not say that is enough
Did we believe the lies they told us
Someone somewhere should have said no
Took the children and spanked their bottoms
And sent them to their rooms
If just one person would have stood up
Denied what they were told and thought for themselves
Children would be playing kickball in the streets
Mothers would be nursing their babies
And songs would be sung
Instead, look at the embers
Think of everything we have lost
And someone please…JUST SAY NO
