we could call ourselves beautiful creatures,
unique, a species unlike any other
different, from everyone and everything else
and while this may be true,
we express our emotions and identities in more ways than one
that truly show who we are as today's society.
haven't you heard?
people dying, constant environment deprivation
what is climate change and does it really exist?
all these lies we tell to save ourselves and hurt others.
why do we do this to each other and our surroundings?
we've done a lot for the world around us,
technological advances, learning more about our world than ever before,
yes, I - and neither you - can deny this truth,
but in reality
while all these good things are happening,
there is far more wrong that isn't being shoved into the spotlight.
we are nothing than selfish beings.
selfish, because we often choose what is easy
rather than what is right,
making ourselves slaves to our temptations and desires.
selfish,
because we have become slaves to our choices; the things we don't even think about
the choices that will eventually destroy
or continue our ever-evolving race.
it's up to us, really.
the question is: are we ready for it?
promise that this is NOT an intentional taylor swift reference ;)
also, probably the last poem before the finale. I kinda wanted to make the poem longer but not too sure how.
hope everyone is doing well x
