Looking around 

Here, safe in our bubbles

We watch the world around us through a screen

Pretending not to see that it’s crumbling, little by little

So we do nothing 

Just sit in our bubbles

Safe from the illness plaguing the world outside 

But the thing about bubbles is that they’re fragile, easily popped

It's a wonder that they’ve lasted this long

Perhaps these hopes

These lies we’ve told ourselves

that the world will fix itself on its own

Have reinforced them 

But how long will they last

Looking around, I wonder

How long we’ll stay here

Pretending that we are safe in our bubbles

Watching and hoping

Instead of fighting and acting

To change the way of the world

To change how we treat our fellow companions

When will we finally look at each other

In a truly accepting way

Without prejudice or fear

When will we help each other up 

Instead of breaking each other down

Adding to the broken world

When will we come out of our bubbles and 

Look around 

to see that the world is getting worse

Getting sicker

There are bigger cracks now, splitting us up

Red vs blue

Black or white

The world is crumbling faster

Will our bubbles keep holding up

Keep protecting us

Will they be able to withstand 

the falling debris and the growing cracks 

Will we?
