| What can we seek from a world with nothing to give Or ask from those who don’t know how to live We watch as they spend in abundance and waste And move about in such hurry and haste We go through the day with our backs staying bent Our world must slow, but to what extent, What is now left from the sweet old days The simplicity of their lives, the ease of their ways! Why can’t we rest, let the world be at peace After all we are just mortals with an un-extendable lease It can’t be renewed, life can’t be regained What for our toils? What are our gains? We are trapped in a world where “we” don’t matter The simplest of things don’t come on a platter The things we can’t have, yet we seek to keep So worried, even the darkness of the night refuses us sleep What have we come to, why can’t we see We are part of nature; the oceans and the trees What do we want, do we even know? Watching as the world warms for an endless summer without snow Our peace of mind and rest all in danger We need to know how we can face terror The world that we live in, the world that we love We can’t preserve its peace just by releasing a dove! The pain, the suffering, the hurt, the anguish, We can’t just grin and let things languish As we may lose, we can’t just wait and watch No, for life isn’t just a game, like hopscotch What can we do? Who will it take? How do we get rid of all the hate? It can’t stay the same, that we sure know, Leaves will grow back on trees and water will come from snow |
