It’s easy to forget if you’re busy.
When constant interruption
Keeps you from focusing
On what’s wrong.
It’s easy to get lost
In constant entertainment
Overlooking your world
Just to be gone.
It’s easy to grow complacent
With constant distraction
Erasing your questions
Of what ought to belong.
It’s easy to ignore what you’re neglecting
If you’ve given up
What used to make you strong.
Pay attention!
Your mind is screaming.
Don’t forget!
It begs the night.
We’ve got to fix this!
Your conscience continues dreaming.
I don’t have to tell you
What is right.
