Children are crying.....cause the world is dying and
no one seems to care
lust and confusion ...
is the Grand Illusion.. and it's creeping up everywhere

the elders neglected ...and the
guilty protected ..by the
laws made for us all
no one is giving
everyone's living
behind a great stonewall

Resources depleted... and our honor defeated ...by the
short-sighted  side of man
****** and scraping
the world that we're shaping
Is NOT..
...going according to plan

fighting and killing
the graves we are filling
are holes in our sanity
preaching and teaching
we're not always reaching
because of our own - vanity
be - cause of our own...van - ity

Question that.i am asking ..is
Are all these things that we're tasking
Going to still be around
tomorrow ......forever

So how many more  
do we
really have remaining
When the past.... that
we thought. we had
left behind us
is steadily gaining


..if there is ..no answer
Then there
must be no question
And if there is ..no question
Then it must be....that we
Are not asking
What can I do ?....
       ....right here and now
Instead of saying
I just dont see how...
I can.make ...any difference

Try accepting the truth
Is NOT so hard to realize
That it's so easy to see
If you quit saying I can't.
And then simply ...
open. you're.eyes
Open your eyes....
... And just take
a good  look around.!
