Forgetting God

Though I had much knowledge or smart, My hands were tied, what could I do? Many days passed without any spark, I just lived on, through and through. Respect faded when money arose, When wealth became the day's light. Greed grew in every heart of those, Riches twisted their minds, in the fight. The banks of the Jaik was green and wide, Once cut down for fuel, all forests fall. Crazy rich men spending money for the pride, Building palaces on the bank, forgetting it all. The fool when rising happiness little, Forgetting God, blinded by his prize. Fighting for a like a beetle, They’re dividing the oil very nice. Everything will run out, everything will fall, Oil... Wealth... with each breath we call. But life has moments, so don’t forget, One day, you may find repentance yet.
