Do you recall what made you say

“There has to be another way”?

The moment when you burned yourself

Or windows fell and shattered?

Do you recall when you were scared

And learned that no one near you cared

And poured yourself some bottom-shelf

And figured out what mattered?

Remember when your throat was parched,

Your ankle turned, your body arched,

And when your dirty face cried out

The world put earbuds in?

If you recall, it’s time to be

A solo army, strong and free.

If you don’t, then have no doubt

These things will soon begin.

The world may not recall your name

Even if you win the game,

But when you count the victories

You get to choose your score.

So will you choose to recollect

A world of passive disconnect

Or will you solve the mysteries,

Wake up, and join the war?
