The Wayside

Hit the Switch
The status of this matter is impeding
The less we give attention to its strength subsides
What better way to think
Neglect what we all need
My tolerance will overcome
My interest will inflict no one
Compassion acknowledged as the ever burning light
I've opened the door
For the first time I feel your pain
As if it was my own
Never again shall I act without this concern
My fellow man no better than his neighbor
They compete for the same prize
And never think to coincide
If we should emphasize
If we should stress the importance of matters in our lives
Could they sacrifice?
Understanding this could solve many things
If they can't percieve it, we're lost to defend harmless
You've yet to grasp the problem
Oh radiant light, guide me through these ramshackled times
A feeling of despondency has overwhelmed the cause and now nobody cares
Well let me be the first to strike against this
This world desperately needs what we've come to forsaken
