Our Future Poem by Lance Mead

THE DARKNESS CONSUMES US,
WHERE HAVE ALL THE SMILES GONE,
THE EARTH IS A NASTY PLACE NOW,
AS A PEOPLE WHERE DID WE GO WRONG

IS IT JELOSEY OR
IS IT GREED,
WAS IT POLITICAL CORRUPTION
OR JUST HUMAN NEED

WE LIE TO OURSELVES EVERY DAY,
OUR PLANET IS DYING WHERE WILL WE STAY

STOP WORRYING ABOUT ASTHETICS
AND HOW THINGS SOUND
STAND UP FOR YOUR LIFE,
STAND YOUR GROUND

THE PLANET IS CONTROLLED BY THE WEALTHY,
NOT THE SMART
THATS PART OF THE PROBLEM
WE COULD CHANGE THINGS,
THATS A START

SO HOLD YOUR HEAD HIGH,
AND QUESTION WHAT YOU HEAR,
FIND THE TRUTH FOR YOURSELF
AND KILL YOUR FEAR

WE AS A PEOPLE CAN CHANGE OUR HELL
JUST START WITH YOUR OWN LIVES,
IT WILL WORK OUT WELL

WHEN WE HAVE DONE THIS, WARMTH WILL GLOW FOR MILES
SO MANY NEW FACES BURSTING WITH SMILES

BUT TO SAY GOODBYE TO THIS CRUEL WORLD
AND HELLO TO THE NEW
CANT BE DONE BY JUST ANYBODY
IT CAN ONLY BE DONE BY YOU
