Inundate

Will the earth be filled, 

If I shed a tear for the lost ones?

A tear for the minds suffocating in the clouds of naivety?

A tear for souls submerged in oceans of mistakes?

For souls sinking quickly in superficial youth?

For bodies on bodies under the knife, 

Re-sculpted for a little snacking. 

A tear for the ingrates living vicariously through the undiscovered. 

For the opportunist overweight with the dreams of the vulnerable. 

Perhaps it'd be even fuller with a tear for the ordinary, 

A tear for me.
