There is no amount of consumption
That will lead to redemption
The more we buy
The greater the void becomes
Forget about levitating
We are all languishing
The solution to all our problems
Cannot be found inside of cardboard boxes
Yet we continue to indulge
Consume and devour
Instead we are born to create
Elevate
To use our imagination
To expand the world
Our beautiful planet suffering
Plants dying oceans rising
But there is still hope yet
It is not over
At least not yet
So let us create
Meditate
Gravitate towards our destiny
Come together in Community
Unity
Let’s plant gardens
And see our seeds bloom
For a little bud is all we need
For a little bit of hope
And a whole lot of grit
You see this world
Isn’t for the faint of heart
But it for dreams and Imagineers
It is for those who believe in things you can’t see
So let’s talk to our plants
And love our pets
And let our children guide us
For they are closest to the light
And maybe they know how to live right
With so much hope and dreams in their eyes
Full of pure wander and joy
So let’s give in to their whims
Stay up late and wake up early
For these days won’t last forever
In a world of robots
let us be human
Raw and messy and complicated
But perhaps being human is the least complicated of all
Breathe in, breathe out and just be.
