Well actually I found my old one as well so well i guess you should read that one as well. The first one is, well obviously the latest one but the second one is the original poem.  I might try to icorperate them into one and mabey make a song but… . Here they are, and please leave me comments cause I haven’t gotten any in like forever.1)Why close your eyes

When you see suffering

Does closing your eyes

Make it go away

Or does it make it all better.

 

You may get respect but

Do they?

Equality isn’t very equal

is it?

 

Just think

 

You work hard

but so do they

hour after hour

blood after tear

a never ending cycle

 

Don’t point your finger

We are all to blame

Not just for doing

Or causing

But for letting it happen

as well

 

Just think

 

Do we “need” what

Comes from their suffering

Forged from their sweat

Built off their Misfortunes

 

Just think

 

Are Ipods really worth that

What about games, TVs, and 

What about the outside

Thats free and comes from

A real builder mother nature

 

What about the “good old days”

Where everyone was more equal

Where everyone was on the same page

That may have been very long ago

 

Was there even a time

Where everyone was “equal”

I don’t know about one but surely

We can create one

 

If you want sit and

Wait, but if you do something

Then we can free all the workers

We can equalize the word

We can make it right!

 2)Do you close your blind eyes

When you see the tired worker?

Do you hide from their pain

And suffering

 

When you see the bright sun

They see dark clouds and rain

Why do we hide from the truth?

 

When we hide others hide

Will the worker’s

Pain never end?

 

Do we need what they bleed for?

Ipods, computers, or phones

Do we “need” anything more?

 

Do we need more buildings

Cars, boats, or planes

Are we so lazy that others

Must do what we don’t want to?

 

Why don’t people try to fix this

Blood and slave built problem

Why do those that try fail?

People that ignore it

Belong in jail

 

To fix the problem we need

To stop buying

And that will stop crying

Why wont people just stop the tears
