Wake Up Humanity

We’re complaining about life and throwing food away, But there’s nearly 800 million people going hungry in the world today. Over 150 million children involved in child labour worldwide, And Innocent people are being killed right now due to genocide. More than 80 million working in hazardous conditions, While women in the middle-east are victims to old-age traditions. Celebrities in restaurants paying a hundred dollars for a dinner, While kids in third world countries just keep getting thinner. More than twenty percent of children in Asia and Africa are underweight for their age, And some are so malnourished, you can actually see their rib cage. Kids in sweatshops are paying the ultimate price, Just so we can wear fancy Nike merchandise. They’re digging for coltan in the Congo while being worked to the bone, So think about that when your texting on your blackberry phone. And how can you be happy with the world that we’re living in? When people are getting murdered due to the colour of their skin. We need to break down racial barriers because we all breathe the same air, We need to show more respect for each other and learn how to care. Human life is worth more than paper but some are obsessed with greed. Life is about caring for each other, so why take more than we need? We can still be happy without materialistic treasures, It’s time to wake up and relish small pleasures. We are all the same, we are all equal, We are all human, we are all people. So why can’t we all work together and try to live peaceful, We’re only here once, in life there’s no sequel. I’m trying not to get emotional but it’s just too tough, Humanity please wake up, enough is enough.
