Over 16,537,419 people are on fubar.
What are you waiting for?
Apathy
Children are dying.
Mothers are crying.
Homeless wander the streets.
Families split apart never again to meet.
The sick are moaning.
The jobless are groaning.
Still you sitIn front of your TV
Not wanting to help
Just thinking “Thank God, it’s not me.”
Another teenaged girl finds she soon will be a mother
Another fight breaks out,
brother versus brother.
A little girl begs for food and a way out of her hell
While her mother lies strung out in a dirty, cheap motel.
Another patient finds he soon will die of AIDS.
Racism and hate crimes still make many so afraid.
Still you sit
In front of your TV
Not wanting to help
Just saying “Thank God, it’s not me.”
The air is so bad; you don’t want to take a breath.
The truth in life lies only in the truth of death.
Another baby’s aborted an inhuman sacrifice
While in research labs, they’re using more than mice.
We sell our souls cheap, for another laugh, another thrill.
The monsters we help create ravage, rape, and kill.
And still you sit
In front of your TV
Not wanting to help
Just yelling “Thank God, it’s not me.”
The water once so plentiful isn’t safe to drink.
Because of our stupidity many animals are extinct.
We step on our neighbors just to get ahead.
We actively destroy ourselves without a trace of dread.
Everywhere we look, our indifference shows.
What can tomorrow bring? No one really knows.
Now as you sit
In front of your TV
I want you to scream“MY GOD!!! That could be me.”
