It's unstoppable, isn't it?
Doesn't give you a moment to breathe
It charges ahead, leaving you behind if you
Dare not fall in line
For all it's uncertainty
It will not slow down
It is trembling, on the verge of collapse
It maintains a steady pace
The beat of a drum, a heart, a march
Some see it as the enemy
They cling to the past
To “better times”
The world before 2020
So much simpler
“Better times”
These same people
They take and take and take
For what?
For them to ruin the lives of their children
To leave them a world that has drowned in
All their greed
This is not a bad year
This is the awakening
Pushing us, dragging us into
The cold harsh reality of the
World we have created
This isn't the future’s fault
This is the foundation of change
The world is on fire
But the future isn't burnt
Not yet
People forget that the future isn't years, months, weeks ahead
Every breath brings us to a new moment
A moment of change
Every moment is vital
The branches of life reach towards a sun that is no longer gentle
For now it is a matter of survival
I will take a stand for my future
And others stand with me
We will not sit, not rest, not quiet
Until we see justice for
The next breath
