Please Give A Damn

The world is against itself

One hand is ripping off limbs

While the other desperately tries to sew together

The gaping holes with threads of humanity

And I stare at my television screen

And read articles on the internet

My own wars waging within my chest

Between feeling helplessly outnumbered

And feeling determined to make myself count

We can win this war waged on Love, I know it

There is no other choice going forward

That allows us all to live with the consequences

Every single life matters in this world

But some are being assaulted more than others

So if you aren’t lying on the ground

Or running desperately for cover

In this rainfall of bullets, hate, and oppression

Then I beg you to give a damn

Please, please care…I beg you
