You say...

You say...

A Poem by Kurai.Merodi
"

Things that we do

"
You say you hate
Destroying the rain forest
But you do nothing to change it 

You say you hate
Poaching and killing 
But you do nothing to change it

You say you haven't killed anything
What about that ant under your foot?
What about that spider you said looked scary?
What about the dreams your killing of that kid your bullying?

What happened to all your words?
They are just empty
Full of lies and getting peoples admiration's

"I really do help"
But when that ad comes on TV
With a way to help
You just sit and stare

It's nice to have these thoughts
But words are just words
They hurt, they soothe

But that's not enough 

You see that dog
In the bins
But you cross over the street
 So you don't have to look at it
But it was harmless
Looking for food
Looking for a way to survive

You see them people
Sleeping on street corners
A dog curled up next to them
"Oh that poor dog" you think
What about them?
The dog as their only company

I say these words to get you to understand
That, yes, you can say you will help
But only doing, with no action
Is like throwing a rope to a drowning man
With a broken end

The gesture is kind
The gesture is more than what others say
But a gesture is a gesture
Not an action
Just a movement of your lips
With sound coming out
Nothing attached

So, will you do what you say?
Will you fill your words?

Will show us?

Will help?

Will you?
