Betwixt and Between

Betwixt and between Sadness and mirth Happy but sad For dear Mother Earth Feeling sorry for Adding to the mess Not really aware Of my part I confess Betwixt and between Feel guilty at times Having so much While others are crying The worldwide problem Of hunger and disease Is difficult to remedy Impossible to ease Betwixt and between I sit here and cry 'Bout the inequality Don't understand why Do we throw up our hands Say nothing can be done Go on and forget it Just enjoying the sun Betwixt and between Filled with sadness and love Gotta keep on trying
