"Displaced"
By JStergis 

Do you see the orange smoke in the sky?
How can this be, do you ever wonder why?

Why can't we ever see the truth?
The flames that affects me, also affects you.

What does it take for me to get through?
How much longer do we wait until there's nothing left we can do?

We're not ready to be displaced.
We cannot find a planet to replace.
