Many people say,
They haven't got the time of day.
They always want to complain,
And say things are to change.
Everytime we ask them to talk,
They say "no" and dont wanna walk the walk.
Haven't you heard the phrase we seem to lack?
Think before you act!
If you know the problem and don't have a solution,
Don't voice you opinion about all of this pollution.
Don't say we need to fix all the obesity,
If you, yourself, are itty itty bitty.
Everyone just needs to take a stand, and do everything, for starters, "with your own 2 hands."
