Evolution (for Earth day)


Up is down

down is up

Smile becomes frown

Misfortune becomes luck

 

Try to disrupt the flow

Of this universe.

Break out of the cycle.

We should no longer follow

The path of infinity.

 

The times are changing

But we change faster.

Evolve from people

To human disasters.

 

Change everything around you.

You won’t feel better.

But change yourself and,

Let it dawn upon you:

 

You can climb a mountain

But it will not move

Be kinder to your world,

And All will improve.Up is down

down is up

Smile becomes frown

Misfortune becomes luck

 

Try to disrupt the flow

Of this universe.

Break out of the cycle.

We should no longer follow

The path of infinity.

 

The times are changing

But we change faster.

Evolve from people

To human disasters.

 

Change everything around you.

You won’t feel better.

But change yourself and,

Let it dawn upon you:

 

You can climb a mountain

But it will not move

Be kinder to your world,

And All will improve.
