"it's a myth", they say
they don't hear it
they're deaf and they dont hear it
they don't hear
the crash of falling ice
it's all "a myth"
the rush of misplaced water onto the unsuspecting shore
that's "a myth" too
the mourning song of the whales
"it's not a big deal", they say
they don't see it
they're blind and they dont see it
they don't see
miles upon miles of
"it's not a big deal"
piled up
shoved away
"it's not a big deal" is in the oceans
we're sliding back into the ocean from whence we came. all of us
we all need to work together but there's always someone who doesn't feel like it
but that's just how it goes, huh?
just another
7.1 billion
biting the
dust?
(of course not; 7.1 billion is a myth too)
