The Truth

Sea shells
Boats sails
Fragmented land
Fragmented people
When did this disarray become the norm
We were a whole people but the greed is all now
We once shared and cared
We now feed only “our own”
Isn’t the earth and community our own?
Music is for coming together
But media divides us between colour
We are told to share as children
As adults we are told to keep it to yourself
As a child you’re told “to be you”
We adults are told to follow the rules
As a teen the message of "be you"
I slost in the toxic, unrealistic ideals of media
Society and humanity
The broken balance between power and the people has caused our broken land
The people can’t have power because the power has control over the people
The disarray and the fear has caused our broken land
The poorest people have nothing whilst those in power feast on the finest
The greed and hunger for power has caused our broken land
The power hunger tears down trees, all nature
Without the nature we can't live
We have begun exterminating our own species as well as millions of others
But maybe people like even you or I can repair it
Maybe we can be the glue to repair the damage
Maybe we can break the cycle
