The prices of your groceries begin to skyrocket,

But you have more than enough to cover it,

So you continue to buy in bulk,

Blissfully unaware

That it affects you, too

Your co-worker can no longer afford

to leave her child at daycare,

So she loses her job,

But you continue to work,

No skepticism clouding your expression,

Blissfully unaware

That it affects you, too

Your cousin on the other side of the country

Travels thousands of miles out of her way

To get rid of something

That she never wanted in the first place,

But you turn a blind eye,

Not daring to form an opinion,

Blissfully unaware

That it affects you, too

Your mother-in-law has been sent to a country

She has never been to

For the crime of awaiting what is lawfully promised to her,

But all you do is give a loving shoulder for your wife to cry on,

And watch with dry eyes,

Blissfully unaware

That it affects you, too

Your best friend will now be unable to have a family

With the love of her life

She is called an abomination,

A sinner,

A wretch,

But, with the knowledge that who you love will never be under scrutiny,

You watch in silence

As her dreams are crushed by a belief system she is not apart of,

Blissfully unaware

That it affects you, too

You watch as your country becomes more divided by the day

You watch as everything is done in your favor

You enjoy the benefits and watch as others suffer the price

Of not being born like you

And one day,

When you finally wake up,

You find yourself cold and lonely,

Stuck in a world where everybody looks the same,

Talks the same,

And does the same

Because you were always blissfully unaware

That it affects you, too
