The World We Live In

The riches and wonders that we all share Is nothing more than an image to stare Although its beauty may catch some eyes Most just pass it by But in the world we see Things are not what they seem Even though the trees appear as lifeless things It has a soul bigger than roots in between And even though the waterfalls around the world are just falling The gush when it lands is above all And each strand of grass that we walk on each day Is a strand in the universe Bigger in every way But in the world we live in These things mean nothing They are just objects Waiting to be made into money Their souls are dead And their lives are worthless But what does that mean to man? In the world we live in Man is nothing but a greedy man Willing to kill and have that on his hands But when there is nothing else for man to kill He will keep devouring But in the world we live in Things are not as they seem As man harms himself Taking away things that have gone unseen Nature will blossom ‘Cause it’s always green While man will struggle for one last dime Nature will succeed Due to its purest mind When man destroys everything Including itself The riches and wonders we all share The things that seem like nothing Will stay
