Face(book) - Ian Duquemin

You know, Facebook can be such a powerful tool
It can teach you the things they avoided in school
If you scroll past the nonsense and seek you can learn
About forests of trees (for your palm oil) they burn
There are posts that will show you how animals die
But you're scared if you watch them you'll break down and cry
But that is its purpose, and why it is there
To show you have heart, and to prove that you care
You can read of our world, and the damage we've done
This is something so real, it should scare everyone
Your children, their children, their children to be
Might not know of a fish that once lived in the sea
If you scroll past the posts that are trying to teach
If you think that your friends are just trying to preach
I ask you... Is posting your dinner okay?
When the dinner you show was alive yesterday!
Do you think that a quote that you found on the net
Will make others think twice of the karma they'll get?
It's a fact, no one thinks when the truth has been shared
If you did, then a million lives would be spared
So read what is posted, and watch when you can
By eating a cow doesn't make you a man
But by shedding a tear when you see something real
Is how every human should honestly feel
