people never seem to care
about the way the world is made
ego trips and worldly pleasures
that’s everything in it
some fight for survival
the outcome – violence and death
some hungered for food
but that’s the way it is
how can we tell the world
that love is all that matters now
how can we explain the things we saw
that they did not see
people try to look for peace
some – temporary relief
others go with the world
but still nothing left to bear
