"No Man Is An Island"

They say, no man is an island

Yet an island can be reshaped

By a tornado, hurricane, or a earthquake

Mother nature rules with an iron fist

To place her stakes on the land of the living

 

They say, no man is an island

But there must be a better way

For other nations and countries

Come together and embrace

To restructure our governments,

Working together, rebuilding, maybe, even see

The humanity in eachother giving

To help those, who can not help themselves

 

They say, no man is an island

All the justice and laws in the world

Wouldn't correct it's poverty

In exchange, for it's wealth

Animated politicians

Speaking in tongues

Atoned to be totally clueless

Unaware of the next existing

Killer of lives

 

They say, no man is an island

To forsee at last

Battle of waves of storms to come

Genocide, Nuclear, Wars

Will come again, and again

History repeats, in cirlces

It never ends

 

They say, no man is an island

The inadequate versions of getting things right

Should be a must, for the change with truth and trust

People having the will or the lack of

Food, water, protection, health care

That ain't right

To not be inform and share

 

They say, no man is an island,

But there's just has to be a better way

People taken care of people

Living life better than it once was yesterday

Families who have lost, buried, and shed many of tears

Placed their memories of loved ones

To cross over into the light

Have lost more than just a home, family, neighbors

One thing one must not lose is

The spirit inside to have

 

They say, no man is and island

For every man, woman and child

Is of the land of their island

Hope is not ones plan alone

The plan simply is of many...

 

Faith, Memories, Freedom, Dreams, and Hope
