Empathy Overflow

I’m hanging around in my thoughts

Walking along

My old way home

The pavement passes under my soles

Walking alone

My thoughts start to flow

There’s one idea that doesn’t leave my head

What would it do to us when

We‘d be empathic over all

To everyone

Where would we go

Where would we be

If we could see our clothes history

If we would feel the pain of what we eat

If we’d be filled with empathy

Where would we be

If we could see behind the industry

Of phones, cars and jewelry

If we would be filled with empathy

What if we had an inner blockade

Which stops us from getting involved

In exploiting the world

We wouldn’t be able to trade

Not paying everyone

A proper income

We could no longer pay our heating bills

And how should butchers continue to kill

We wouldn’t have enough fair trade

Clothes for all

Isn’t this cruel

Where would we be

If we could see our clothes history

If we would feel the pain of what we eat

If we’d be filled with empathy

All escalates

Do you see how mad we actually behave
