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
