Counted on
the younger generation
we see videos
read articles
on what this world is
we are supposed to end
this madness
this pit of despair
we are the way out
the future!
counted on.
But what if
we can’t
fix
a single
thing?
Will this pit of despair we call Earth die
because of us?
Is it
better off dead
then what it is?
We’re children
right now we can’t change much
so we dream of a world
where the sun sets in peace
we enjoy life
now…
the pressure is high to be perfect,
and change the world.
Counted on
we’re not going to be kids forever
but for right now
that’s just what we are
counted on kids
trying to change the world
