I am a helpless person
And I refuse to believe that
I can help and fight
“There is hope in the world”
Is a lie
“Giving up is a choice”
In 30 years, I will tell my children that
I have my priorities straight because
Work
Is more important than
Life
I tell you this:
Once upon a time
“Ohana means family,
Family means no one gets left behind or forgotten”
But this will not be true in my era
Only work matters
Experts tell me
Child labor is safe
I do not conclude that
Dreams come true with work
In the future,
Hate is this world
No longer can it said that
Everyone matters
It will be evident that
No one matters
It it foolish to presume that
There is hope
And all of this will come true unless we reverse it.
