We Don't Even Know Who We Are
Maybe animals feel more deeply than we do
high emotional IQ
I mean we don't even know who we are
we're always looking up to the stars
conflicting the world with our schisms
and they're all contributing to the ecosystem
busy creating the world that we live in
while we're all begging to be forgiven
for destroying the only home we know
barely surviving the harsh reality of the undertow
that we've created with our waste, greed, and pollution
lying to ourselves that more technology is the solution
When we all need is to reach out our hands to each other
and promise to always love and care for one another

So well said. We live in a dysregulated society with bankrupt compassion by and large. It would be better to be a tree or a rock and just be. Just break and form no attachment to what was.
