Species over ignorance

People forget
We’re a species,
The human race,
Yet we fight each other
For petty things
Time can’t replace.
We’re a planet
Yet continents apart,
Split by politics
And ignorant hearts.
Terrorism & power
Discrimination & wealth,
Is it worth the dangers
Put on our health?
Armies ordered to kill
We don’t get a say,
As we’re insignificant
Just part of the decay.
Why do we pay tax?
To keep the world fed,
No one owns earth
Without it we’ll be dead.
We’re all born the same
As unique as each other,
We should accept sexuality
Religions & all skin colours.
There’s billions of humans
But little humanity,
Change gets lost in the chaos
Of this messed up reality.
