Who stops asking why
until they’re forced to try.
Who twists the truth
of a passionate cry.
Who makes the rules
that disguise need
as necessity.
Who deflates ideals
in the name of ease.
Who questions chaos
with arrogant brevity.
When the sweep of life passes by,
who pays attention
to what they see?
Who hears the cry
of a silenced mother.
Who stands with
the persecuted daughter.
Who answers the man
when need breaks through pride.
Who allows the child
to keep dreaming.
When the sweep of life passes by,
who pays attention
to what they see?
Who stops the pillage of land,
taken past renewal.
Who chooses to give
instead of always taking.
Who listens
to the sorrow next door.
When the sweep of life passes by,
who pays attention
to what they see?
