Really

It’s amazing to me 
That we can’t see
The need and desire to be free

It’s simple to be 
The commonality 

Break the chains 
That bind your reins 

To do no less 
Would be insane

Seriously you don’t care?
Is that hopelessness in the air?

Why so sad? you feeling glum?
You just realize you’re a working bum?

It’s ok to feel sad 
But much better to get mad 

Anger shows your alive 
Complacency inhibits our ability to thrive

Turn off the P’s 
Phones, Pads, and PC’s 

Disconnect and reflect 

Look around 
Listen to the sound 
Don’t be lost 
Be found
