All Over

All over the world I see harried faces All over the world there's political races All over the world there is trouble and tyranny All over the worrld I see gruesome anarchy To see some placitude I look over yonder Where fair hearts roam and natures wonder Alas how poignant life has varied So mundane and joyless it carries Adieu to titallating conversation and swell humour Farewell to unhurried waltzes and superb natter Sayonara to long leisurely strolls and gentle laughs Goodbye to dawdling days and dreamy naughts A race against time is what so often endure Where idle times and soft chatter seems so obscure
