Competition Instead of Cooperation
competition instead of cooperation
we are growing they say
but how
are we growing fat in hatred
or are we growing slim
in love
we are growing they say
but how
are we growing big in lies
Or small in truth
yet we are growing
I just wonder how
how we are growing
are we growing up well
or are we growing up dying
to live
yet we are growing
yes we keep growing
but were are we growing to
even when we grow
how do we grow
are we growing
when there are so many
in need out their in the third world
are we growing when food waste
in some part of the world
while their are too many hungry
stomach in so many places
are we growing when
truth is dying
about to be buried
far away from our existence
are we growing when
our soul remains stagnant
no spiritual growth
cos no more common sense
yet we are growing
growing in a world of
competition instead of cooperation
