A Bird's-eye View

I watch the world and the maddening crowd As I float by on a cumulus cloud High on my perch, all this sadness I see I dream of the things, the things that should be A bright pinnacle of all of our best But all I glimpse is a growing unrest A division where so few can relate The destruction, degradation, and hate An environment where prejudice grows Where so many are perceived as your foes A stormy climate of fear and distrust The glory of war with a morbid lust Day by day the continued pollution Without a pause or any solution One winding road with little distinction On a collision course bound for extinction There's still a chance to make changes today A mutual trust would help pave the way One unified world pulling together With a single goal to make life better What'll it take to make you open your eyes While tearful I wait and watch from the skies I'd shout this out loud if given a choice But since I'm spirit, no one hears my voice
