The One Thing
Every Disney Princess
Has an "I want" song
I want legs
Books
Freedom
Everyone recieves
But me
For the thing I want
No longer exists
An island where sea levels stay level
Not inclined to consume
In a matter of time
Where animals don't swelter in the heat
Radiating from a thousand miles away
Don't scrounge for shelter
That disappears
Day after day
Because other animals cut it down
To fill their own need
Better said, greed
Those animals are us
It is my car
That boils their world
My neighbor's wood table
That cut down another's home
My grocer's pesticides
That turned water to acid
My love
That will help
That can save
That will save
For we all have a dream
And if one can't support their dreams
Then why bother sleeping?
It is my choice
To rescue my wish
Because in the end
It will be what keeps me alive
