Open Your Eyes World
I opened my eyes.
And the worlds eyes i tried to pry.
Wanting for the world to see what its doing and cry.
Oil.
Money.
Recources.
The only things that matter to the world and its forces.
We sit an feast.
Us whites in th east.
Throwing billions of pounds of food away.
While a child is starving every day.
We have water that pours from a pipe at the turn of a nob.
While children walk a mile barefoot to get a cup of dirty watery glob.
We take and take from the earth.
To fuel the fires of our home hearth.
When the world runs out.
I will close my eyes.
I saw the worlds glutteny.
For the world will see for itself.
What it has been working toward.
Its own death.
I will laugh.
At the faces on everyone.
When they see what has come.
Now your scared world.
Like the starving children.
Now the world is starving with them.
I saw it coming a mile away.
But the world just kept taking.
Day by day.
