Now or Never

Maybe I'm wierd or off in some way

But I can't seem to fathom how people say

I happy here, right where I am

I'm happy where I can be hurt by a man


I'm smiling here where I can be killed

With no regrets and no charges be billed

I'm lucky to be here in the sun

Where the police just shoot their guns


I love to be in this place on the Earth

Where people can't decide if they have birth

I like it right here, here where I stand

Where the oceans are dying as well as land


Why should I worry what's happening there

When I can murder and no one would care

Why should I go out of the sun

When people here just carry 'round guns


Why should I help when others are needy

When all my life I've been rude and greedy

Why should people stand up and fight

Just to die for what they think is right


My question to those who ask themselves this,

How often are you here in bliss?

How light is your skin?

Are you straight as a line?

Country of origin?

Way to tell time?

How privileged are you?

Are you a natural male?

Who are you?

What's your weight on the scale?


You see odds are your forgetting

Your future was always bright

Never wrapped in black netting

Never drowned in the night


But for others that wasn't an option

They never had the choices you get lost in

They're kicked from their homes

Starve until they're just bones


While you sit here and shame their lives

While they cut themselves with knives

While you shame them for their weight

They stop eating and try to be straight


So do better

Better can last forever

The future is now or never
