Look past the miles of mediocrity
Look past the years of yearning
It is all about to change for the better
The blatant boredom dies today
Mulling through life feeding on the handouts
Of geniuses long past has got to stop
Stuffing our faces with overly priced, overly portioned
Fast food of death and toxically, tantalizing tobacco sticks
For God's sake it really has to STOP!
We are killing the possibilities of a perfect, planet
By only worrying about how heavy we can
Make our pockets and how full we can make our banks
There are ways to do it better, ways to do it right
Wake out of your apathetic coma of misguided contentment
Make time for our future and your children's
The time for change is right now, not tomorrow or next week
We need to move forward in this existence of ours
Fast food does not have to be unhealthy
Fuel or power does not have to pollute
Technology does not have to destroy the planet
We as a society need to catch up with our technology
We are no different then 8-year old Johnny finding the .45 caliber Beretta
In his dad's carelessly unlocked gun cabinet
As a society we should use our knowledge to improve the planet and ourselves
We need to build better space shuttles, not better eyeliner
We need to create hydroponic high-rise corn fields
We need to create healthier economies and products that don't thrive
On the misguided decisions of our world's addictions
We are killing ourselves and we are killing the planet
We are not black, white, purple, green, brown or yellow
We are not Christian, Jewish, Muslim or Buddhist
We are all humans and we all share this planet
We need to work together in our common cause!!
We need to build a better tomorrow
By living better and smarter in a different way
We truly, truly need to start today!!
