Is it Philosophy or Poetry?
We never seem to get it right
Living in days of darkness
Waiting for some light
Still children
Pretending to be adults
Telling ourselves
Everything will fix itself
Is it Philosophy or Poetry?
Don’t look to your leaders
They haven’t got a fucking clue
They’re all to busy
Playing the games of ego
And not thinking about you
Is it Philosophy or Poetry?
Or maybe it’s both
But what should be taken as action
By all the people themselves
And more than merely words
