We were all born

We were all born

We were all born on this planet down here 

together but nobody really even cares from 

all of the garbage that we create and throw 

on the ground to all the pollution that we pump 

up in the air we are all divided by race, wealth 

and the color of our skins and for what I mean really 

all sides are wrong we all share equally in that sin

Just look around and you will see all of the 

violence and hate, from a man in his ninties being 

robbed of two dollars to teenage young 

women being drugged to little girls going out 

and getting raped

Innocence has been lost forever i am afraid with our 

children dying more now on the streets 

the reasons are simple and if you just open 

your eyes you will see that 

the family that used to bind us together that 

taught us all love and respect they are 

now gone for forever because of addiction

and other deamons so now the world that we live

and created is now dying faster everyday and it 

does not give a shit.
