We do Nothing

WE DO NOTHING

It tears at your heart And tears fall from your eyes Tears for the fears Crumbling world Crumpling in our hands We see, we hear, We do nothing.

We do nothing but bark As the bark peels away The bare necessities Our necessities in these hands Life’s intensities, life in tent cities We see, we’re here, We do nothing

We do nothing but wait The weight of the matter Way too big for our grey matter Cluttered world Clattering at our feet Our fate - we fear But do nothing We do nothing but watch As the watch ticks and tocks Toxic planet, too sick Beneath our feet Before our eyes The tears, crying But do nothing

Do we do nothing but cry? No outcry, no reply. This crime against humanity Instability bringing calamity Indeed the nitty-gritty? We see, we hear, We do nothing

For we ourselves are nothing. Nothing but trope Our hopes lie within the limits of life We see not beyond the grave. The grave situation that surrounds us Confounds us So we do nothing.
