tis a problem

LookingToSee —

why do you act like it's not your problem


i know you're busy, i know you've got a life


but why do you turn a blind eye on this


it is your problem, it is my problem


it is our problem.


i might have a bit more free time,


i might be lazying about


but i can see the consequences looming on the horizon


i might be a bit more sensitive


and again have too much spare time


to feel the pain of those beyond our borderlines.


 


i do not ask you to feel it,


i just want you to know


i see the consequences


like angry black clouds


they're rolling in, slowly but surely.


the thunder and the lighting,


slowly synchronizing


 


i ask you for your help


i ask you for a hand


i ask you for your shoulder


to share that burden


 


please listen to me


please give me your help


because when the clouds rip asunder


it will fall on me AND you.
