"to survive"

The world around you burns

and you do

nothing

because it does not affect you

yet;

the waters of the past rise

and the moon frowns as she realizes

that she doesn’t have control of her tides,

the forests leave us and in their place

another corporation sits

plain

the people cry

as they cannot find

the bare necessities of their lives

but when you still have everything

you pay no mind

and instead somehow

place the blame for your wrongdoings

on the ones who just wanted

to survive.
