Energy 

the lifeblood of society

But the way energy is treated

Is with basic impropriety 

 

How can we expect to enjoy the fruits of our land?

When profit over profit is the only plan

We don’t have much time so do what you can

Were poisoning the water, the plants, the fauna 

All so companies can make another dolla 

 

And why is it the people that don’t receive the fruits 

That has all the most risk

Is that our life liberty and pursuit of happiness

 Because with this world now I’m starting to get pissed

 

First with life 

A right that we all deserve

But is my life fully lived 

when my water tastes burned 

What about the air in my lungs

That is not filling my chest 

The toxins in the air 

Ripping away my breath

wait

But let’s not worry about breathing

I’m feeling nauseous

Is that radiation I’m feeling

I sit in my home feeling safe in a lie

While my own cells start to wither and die 

I just pray the cancer ones don’t start to divide 

Is this really a life I’m living of mine

 

Because as much as living is everyone’s right 

If you are rich life seems to take less of a bite

Now stop for a second

What shit is this

That your monetary value will delay deaths kiss

 

Because how is that fair to the mother of three

To work three jobs and still live in poverty 

And don’t forget the low-income housing 

The way the neighborhood are placed

My suspicions arousing 

The amount of cancer and asthma is simply astounding  

 

Now as much as I can go on and on 

Enough about life 

To liberty, let’s move on 

 

Liberty 

A three-syllable word that is so close to our hearts

Of American values, it is truly a part

Liberty the freedom to do anything

But here, and now what does it mean

 

Because I have the liberty to do a lot with my life 

But wait

I’m straight, a male, and I’m white

Well what does that have to do with my liberty

Sadly in this world, I think it means most everything

 

Because I can work my hardest and get very far

But the less pigment in my skin seems to be a racecar

Where the opposite keeps others from even meeting the bar

Is the game really rigged because I’m keeping on par

 

And for some reason this gilt 

Is just building into my chest

Every human should be equal

I think thats whats best

Cause I want the liberty 

Equal justice for all 

But is this systematic cracks our society’s fall?

 

 I’m scared for the world 

Cant you see

That I’m starting to think liberty is just a belief 

Cause our government is failing

The world is falling down

Is just seems like everything going to the ground

 

And then I see hope

hope in my fellow man 

I see them trying to fix the problems

That we don’t fully understand

 

I see more every day standing up for all rights 

And I think to my self

That this will be alright 

 

Because more than hate 

Love and passion fits

and I think this is all from

Our pursuit of happiness 

 

Most peoples happiness 

Comes from loving and love of others 

Whether a friend, stranger, sister or brother

I wish our happiness could align with all others

Because then I think the world would finally come together 

 

If we can all pursue our happiness as one 

An unimaginable utopia will arise like the sun

And with the breaking of dawn on every single day

This is the place that justice is meant to stay!

 

So let’s please all see that equality is key

Let’s all treat each other like one family 

And let’s all live happiness, life, and liberty
