A miracle we have color

                        so vibrant, it’s so fair

            but when I look back

            at 1950 films

I can’t help to think

                                    “is this really real?”

we have green now

            purple and blue

red and pink

                        but back then its all hueless

boring and meek

was there really color?

            did everyone wear the same thing

were trees contained with black leaves

                        because if they were then why weren’t they green?

maybe someone had to invent colors

                                    they were just tired of

                        the same old thing

now of course we have vibrant

settings

                        except for in our phones

for when we edit

            then you see Black and White

and I think the same

            question all over again.

You can feel the love as
it goes on

All the swaying hands
and bobbing heads

The room is silent
not a word to be spoken

the sounds of the saxophone
inspiring the broken

Warming the hearts
off all the dead souls

Bringing smiles and showing
hope

The saxophone that plays
It’s so outspoken

showing the love for
all of the unawoken

We dumped, we threw
Our trash and knew
The wrong we were causing to.

This world smells
Bad and I’m so sad
Just think of our future selves.

Don’t you see my peeps
This world really reeks
and it’s all because of us.

Can’t you see what
We’ve become,
Destroying what we’ve worked
So hard to love?
Don’t you wanna see
Your kids grow up
Or do you wanna
Die of carbon dioxide,
Just fall to the ground
And die?

And you’ll just wonder why
Pollution leads to global warming
And sea levels will rise

Floods will appear,
Everything will disappear
And nothing will be left.

Don’t say you’re sorry,
You’re still doing the same thing,
Trashing up your own place.

Look at what we’ve done,
Throwing trash and forgetting
How it’s left a mark.

This world has been through enough,
Throwing all our trash out our cars.
All of it piles up.

And we’ll never see this world in peace
And we’ll never see this world in peace
