Brief Moments in Time

“We are only bodies of energy
Our lives are but brief moments in time”
We hope our lives are worth living
that we’ve made some small impact on humanity
before we die
Alone, our actions are miniature
small figurines fighting against
an armored tank
protecting a history of oppression
a system that thrives on injustice
where our duty i to muster up the energy
to make the tiniest waves
to speak up for those
who have lost their voices
“We are only bodies of energy
Our lives are but brief moments in time”
We hope our lives were worth living
that we’ve lived a comfortable life
afraid to speak up for others
and lose all that comfort provides
We close our eyes,
shut our mouths,
cover our ears
ignore what’s going on outside
“We are only bodies of energy
Our lives are but brief moments in time”
