If you shriek loud enough
Maybe someone will hear you
And check if you are all right.
...
Don't cry, child
For children starving far away
For homeless people on the streets
Begging for change.
...
I have driven myself
Into the darkest hole imaginable
Where you cannot even dream of light
...
How amazing it is
That this planet exists at all
That we have air to breathe
Water to drink
...
Sometimes
When I am especially quiet
I can hear the stars laughing
The rain pouring far away
...
Scientists say
That we only use ten percent of our brain
That all of our memories
Are stored inside
...
The moon
Seems to shine on it's own
But it is really
A reflection of the sun
...
I am someone
Who laughs for no reason
Who dances in the rain
Who cries for starving children.
...
Enough
If you shriek loud enough
Maybe someone will hear you
And check if you are all right.
If you cry hard enough
Maybe someone will come
And wipe a tear off of your cheek.
If you laugh long enough
Maybe your joy will pass
To those you love most.
If everything we do
Impacts something else
Someone else
Why do we hate?
Why do we start wars
That are unnecessary?
Why don't we care
About other human lives
And instead continue surviving selfishly?
I don't claim to be brilliant
Smart, even
Not dumb
All I know
Is this
And it's enough.
