I stay awake all night,
Imagining the stars
I remember when they were bright,
Spreading into the far
I think of all the people who spend their life to get more time
Who come to the dead end with others cutting it short
Making holes in the ship like lime
Sabatoging the travel before we get to the port
Using up the resources before they were meant to be used
Cutting all the paths and then telling us to choose
The humans who work to save our ship all end up dead
Where the others having the time of their lives let their work go unsaid
A day will come when our time is gone
And all will go to waste
Or a day will come to save us all
To upstand the human race
But no one sees that, do they now?
They say to leave it for later?
Well later never comes, and we will bow
As the weak in front of the greater
We will get no more chances
We already have an eternity
Abusing what we have been handed
Not seeing the urgency
Like being given an acre
But building a home for an ant
Being given a home that is safer
But taking it as a grant
It's hard to see what has been given to us
What opportunities it holds
Like being given some clay
All for us to mould
And as we change it,
It changes us
Even by bit,
It causes a fuss
All we do is ride the ride
Leaving it to the pilot to control what's inside
We must all help and all must contribute
And one day we'll see that none of us will have to be tributes
