How We Are Living

We are divided,
By our own lives,
We survive on what's said,
On our own lies.

We think that the truth,
Is what we're being told,
So we still believe it from our youth,
To when we're old.

We don't need conviction,
We don't need more lies,
Each moment is another one,
As another person dies.

We can't live like this anymore,
Lest we should cease to exist,
Should death knock on my door,
I shall take the risk.

We need each other,
To help guide the way,
We need one another,
To help survive another day.
