Turn the tide on commercialised thinking
We can be more than what they’re pushing
Look the part to fulfill your heart
Behind the trends right from the start
Monuments to our magnificence
A lifestyle chasing opulence
But when so many are hungry
Are we not ashamed at how we chase money?
It owns us
It owns me
While we chase the good life
The poor are cast aside
My salary my security
Lip service to equality leaves me empty
A problem too big, and I’m so small
I grasp at straws, never change at all
But I refuse to let cynicism reign
Reject narcissism, I won’t turn away
Even the smallest drops move the oceans
And we’re splashing against a system so broken
I won’t flow with the tide that serves only itself
And assigns you value based on your wealth
