That could easily be you
Out there on the streets
Begging for food
That could easily be you
Living in a war
Scared to close your eyes

Yet there you sit in the comfort of your home
Taking forgranted the freedom you've been given
And there you go
Running your mouth like your opinion really matters
Acting like ignorance is bliss
Bitching when things don't go your way
You're nothing but a egotistical fool

That could easily be you
Living each day from check to check
Trying to get your life on track
That could easily be you
Recieving a phone call from a stranger
Telling you your child's never coming back
And there it is
Another kid addicted to crack, heroin, cocain
Letting their life go down the drain
And there you have it
The news is always the same
Another death caused by the hand of man

Yet you're still running your mouth
Like your opinion really matters
Acting like ignorance is bliss
I've said it before and I'll say it again
You're nothing but an egotistical bitch

It takes guts to stand up and speak the truth
Just like it takes a real man to settle matters like a person
Anyone can pick up a gun and become trigger happy
But that happens way too much
And that could easily be you
A person trying to fight for their next breath
And that could easily be you
Never waking up again
That could easily be you
Another statistic

But you keep running your mouth
Like your opinion really matters
Ignorance is not bliss
You're just an egotistical shit
So shut up and pay attention
'Cause that could easily be you..

This is actually Satirical Poetry (Satire), but alas, sadly that genre is not on here. This poem is pretty much self-explanatory. Named anonymous since it seems to be almost illegal to speak the truth these days. Hope you enjoy.
