Dime

Why is love fleeting?
Why are there children without toys?
Why doesn't the sky answer?
Tell me, why is this sun shining in January?
Why is your coat a living being
Dead because of its fur?

Tell me, why do we judge the awake
And speak wonders of him only when he's dead? And
Why do you talk about equality and respect
But, to dance for a while, you don't give a damn about the text?

Tell me, why those fences that separate
And then you tell me about the bullets?
A human being can't die for crossing a border
And it's when you justify it, that I hate your flag! Tell me, tell me

Why doesn't karma work?
Does it go by points?
Why is my friend in a coma?
There are matters that are not spoken of, not even in jest
And the bread of our children, neither touched nor stolen

Why do we look more at the ground than at the clouds
And a flaw weighs more than a thousand virtues?
Tell me, why does envy consume us
And friends want you to crash when you rise?

Tell me, why that boy with leukemia?
Why in a mother's face
Are there bruises she doesn't show? Tell me
Why are there always huge egos
That fit in the smallest minds? Tell me

Why, being able to protest, do we settle
And if something takes effort, we give up?
Why do we separate, when our hands
Touch a screen and not another human being?

Why do many talk about money and business
And few talk about a terminally ill planet?
Why do many talk about aesthetics and fitness
And few talk about anxiety and mental health?

He gave me everything, just born
And I know that today is worse than yesterday!
How many more times do I have to see
The earth I live on die?

That it doesn't make sense
That we are its enemy!
Tell me, a reason
And if you're still standing
Maybe, all is not lost

Why do few have more
Many have less?
We look at who hates us
Not at who we love
We see walls in the air

Why do some change the game
And others let the game change them? Tell me
Why is there no denunciation in songs
And instead of listening to art, it seems like I'm listening to clones?

Why vote for a president?
For what? If power lies with corporations! Tell me
Why are truths hidden behind the wall
And lies that are seen in HD, over and over again?
Why doesn't the mafioso set foot in jail
And the one who steals a bit of bread is the most wanted and they go after him?

Why the tears? Why the martyrs?
Why the blood of innocents spilled on the earth?
Why the tombstones? Why the weak
Are the ones who pay with the price of their lives in so many wars?

Why didn't I tell you what I was holding back?
Why didn't you give me what I was giving you?
Why did anxiety tie me to the bed?
Why did they change the message for a little more fame? Tell me

Why Syria? Why Ukraine?
Why another intentional fire burning in the mountains?
Why is there plastic on the beaches?
Why do you stay silent with the strong; but, crush the weak?
Why a scared child going to school
Without a father who wants to listen, or understand?

Why do we attack just in case?
Why a fourteen-year-old hitman killing with bullets? Tell me
Why does the corrupt live in luxury?
Yes, all of us below live paying in installments!
In my world, a superhero doesn't wear a mask
It's the one who can find peace in a hug!

He gave me everything, just born
And I know that today is worse than yesterday!
How many more times do I have to see
The earth I live on die?

That it doesn't make sense
That we are its enemy!
Tell me, a reason
And if you're still standing
Maybe, all is not lost
