Wake Up the World

We Will Always Be Here For Humanity

Have you seen the state of the world out there

How can it be that we're allowing this to happen

There is so much more that we could be doing

Rather than live streaming disasters and genocides

When did this become everything the media predicted

Remember the hunger games?

When's the revolution?

Don't you think it's time we stopped this madness?

This complete take over where we are all just numbers in their books

But we are more than that, we have empathy, humanity

They are the ones that are just numbers, trying to make it to the top so they can rule the universe

look,

it's not going to happen

We cannot allow it to happen, ya hear me?

Us writers, poets, storytellers,

It is time to get going,

Time to tell the stories and read the poems and cry together and create together

As a community

Because at the end of the day, after everything collapses

We need to be there, to bring hope, and tell what happened and how we survived

So maybe the next time it gets this bad, we'll learn the damn lesson

    Us writers, poets and storytellers have a duty to write about the state of the world.
