The world on their shoulders

They stand to the side

Tears that fall from fractured eyes

They try to speak out but are crushed by the weight

Their fate has been sealed by others mistakes

From green to brown, the fish they drown

Water is rising all around

The sky stained black

trash washed back

All we notice is what we lack

They say they'll help

They hear our cry

But that is just an empty lie

They take and waste

But they can't replace

The forest that's now just empty space

The system is broken

It needs to be fixed

But all the problems

Are miraculously missed

They just place blame

And when it's their fault

They shrug and say it's just results

The invisible pain is waved away

They smile and say it's a normal day

While the young are crushed by invisible weight

They smile and say that's just our fate
