Naive
Watching as they live their lives
Not worried of the world today
Naive to their surroundings
Time flies
People die
Babies born
Everyone going on with everyday
Day by day
Step by Step
Life as they know it
Would be no more
They still don't know
Naive to their surroundings
Corruption
Hatred
Disgrace is what our world has become
Yet they still go on with their lives
As if in their own little boxes
Our generation of technology
Makes us more secluded from the world's feelings
More worried of relationships and fun
But not of poverty and war
Naive to their surroundings
I wonder why
How can they seem so unattached
From life outside their homes
Neighborhoods and schools
Naive to their surroundings
You just sit and hope
Their eyes will open up
To reality....as they are
Naive to their surroundings
