AppreciateA Poem by Joey MartinezI'm on a journey to find out why I'm here I wanna know why I have it good while others live in fear People need to realize we're lucky to be where we're at Because across the sea, people get treated like rats Stop focusing on celebrities And start mourning the innocent casualties That are happening every day While we sit here in our beds eating a bag of lays Appreciate what you got, cherish it all Some people can't even afford cooked meat, and have to eat it raw Be proud you don't have to worry about a missile hitting your home Others are suffering right now living in a war torn dome Two legs, Two arms, I can hear, I can see I don't have it all but I still have people wishing they were me It breaks my heart to know I can't help, that I can't give them a hand I would do anything to help, If I had the power, I'd give them my land All these 3rd world countries have kids that are fighting to survive And we're here hanging out, eating, playing on xbox live Just appreciate what you have, look around you and smile Because you can be across the world, walking endless miles To find clean water, to find a place to hide from the gunfire Please just appreciate what you have, don't fall into the greed of your desires © 2014 Joey Martinez |
