change

all around the world,

people are taken away,

all around the world,

a family is put astray.

all around the world,

a doctor bears bad news,

“I’m sorry, but your son did not survive the flu.”

all around the world,

parents are stressed out,

so when they didn’t pay the bills,

the lights go out.

all around the world,

women are oppressed,

mainly because of the way they speak or the way they dress.

all around the world,

happiness has become a distant memory,

now all we have is devastation,

something that will never leave.

all around the world,

people feel emotion,

all around the world,

people fall out of motion.

all around the world,

some people don’t know how to get up,

all around the world,

some people just give up,

we might have devastation in the world we know today,

but it’s our fault,

we took the happiness away.

all around the world,

people are taken away,

and it will happen again,

not unless we make a change.
