All Life As Our Own

Why can't you see what I see The world is not just for you and me The rustling leaves, the majestic trees The reed beds whisper in the gentle breeze The insect hum, the blackbird's song Filling the air like nothing's wrong We walk around so comatosed Hypnotised by our mobile phones We claim all life as our own To abuse and consume To lay waste just for taste To consume and annihilate We devour news of tragedies A constant fix for anxieties Instead of friends we see enemies We've lost the meaning of humanity Now you can see what I see You've escaped the fog of technology You've switched off the news, you've made a start No heart needs to die for this heart They claim all life as their own They abuse and consume They lay waste just for taste They consume and annihilate
