Time - Poetry Slam

Sitting there, chilling out
There’s not really much to it
Day to day you go by with stereotypical coolness
We check our facebook - download music on itunes
Text our friends go through the movements
There’s not really much to it
How much thought do we give to anyone outside our loop
How often to we do we do a double - take a second look
I don’t care what you say about you’re fine this way
But this world is falling and it’s not okay
There is more to this life than just getting by
When every second 1.8 people die
Do we stop to think? 
Do we really care?
When it’s someone we don’t know - someone way out there?
But then death comes knocking
Comes right up to our door
Asking for someone we didn’t think it would come for
That’s when we realize that life isn’t just about getting by
That at any second we could be the one to die
So step back just for a moment and reevaluate this life
Because it goes by, goes by, goes by, it’s gone 
And when you’re done you have no second chance to right your wrongs
So are you living with false assurance that you always have today?
Or are you living a life that will not fade away?
