Appreciate

Appreciate

A Poem by Joey Martinez

I'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
