is it time to give up?

no one listens anymore
prayer without action is trust
it is too late for us
the planet dies

we came from Mars
after we killed it
we have no place left to go
people complain if we seek another planet

no one tells us the truth
the sun is killing us
as is the air and water
they tell you not to pollute

but no one stops big business from it
people do not care how they get their money
sell the kids dope
who cares about the misery it causes

is it time to give up?

It's not a good time to give up Jason, but a great time to reevaluate our personal principles.
What is the last thing we jumped over? A piece of toxic plastic at the rivers edge, a dead deer,
a homeless veteran, a counterfeit 100 dollar bill? The answer to any of those is telling to
the type of person we might become but certainly not an indictment of who we
presently are.

This is a great poem for questioning motives,
ours and everyone's elses.
