Respect, taught by our families,
a principle passed on through generations.
This, somehow, got lost in translation.
At some point self-respect was lost,
and with it, respect for everything else.
Tension is high nowadays, and we don't understand
how good we have it, or how catastrophic it could get.
Ignorance is a choice nowadays, and yet people actively seek it.
How's our future looking when freedom is sold so cheap?
Hope is in low supply, and hard though as it is, we need it,
need that little star shining brighter, and we have to be that,
for ourselves, for our loved ones, and for the good of humankind.
People never held any particular interest to me,
we have what we have created, and given, but are rapidly destroying it.
Maybe we're beyond salvation, maybe it even is a mercy to be.
There will be no legacy, only peril and destruction if we keep
choosing ignorance over knowledge, fear and submission over our own voices.
Kindness, care, selflessness are not pure, nor are we, but there's still,
pureness in the intent, and in our own selfishness to feel better.
We are beyond help, but can still salvage our legacy and rise.
