Smash

We're not the ones whose pollution blackened our skies
And ruined the streams
We're not the ones who made the nuclear bombs
That threaten our lives
We're not the ones who let the children starve in faraway lands
We're not the ones who made the streets unsafe to walk at night

And even if we try and not become so overwhelmed
And if we make some contribution to the plight we see
Still our descendents will inherit our mistakes of today
They'll suffer just the same as we and never wonder why


Wow. That put it all in perspective. As children, we have a magical bubble of innocence. We'll at least I'm a child. I don't know about the rest of you (coughtommyashleycough). Children didn't start the war in Iraq. Children didn't start the holocaust. Children don't enslave immigrants who are out on our luck. But if it's not the children, then it must be the adults. Adults have the capacity to be evil. Where does the change happen? When do children who eat candy become adults to slit throats? I may be a mean little bastard, but i can't kill anybody. How can you kill somebody? I guess it must be easy. It happens all the time.
