Life

Life Existence on earth is based on survival And in this system, everyone’s a rival Relying on God’s creatures for our daily bread And rushing through life so that everyone’s fed Our life’s a competition Our lifestyle’s a race And we can’t up with our daily pace We try to earn money so we can attain The pleasures from those which we can’t refrain But they are so plainly out of our reach Our hopes are then shattered And lie in a ditch So life becomes empty And resembles a cycle And things that would matter Are no longer vital So we can no longer ignore its routine And hide from familiarity and torture we’ve seen I sincerely hope that the structure will change And reality for us will shortly arrange A life rich with passion and sparkling joy That the earth’s regulations won’t surely destroy Let’s alter the rules And let’s hope that we find Life is worth living, is fair and is kind
