Good Times and Fun

Mankind's greatest fall of all: the clock's ticking hastens to the confrontation of one man against another--the fight of brother against brother, and all others. There seems to be a time ahead when men will hate each other and fight until they're dead. I wish it were all a dream and these thoughts didn't mean anything. But it's all there to see; it's a repeated behavior of history. Now, the weapons are bigger than ever before; Mankind is is still talking about another war. The clock is ticking, but wait, it's just time, which means there's still more time to wait. The clock is just an invention of man's mind. It has no feeling, it has no brain in reality, it's not even time. Stop the clock, and take it off the wall. Time out! No one has to fall. Sit down; there's time to burn. Let's look at history-- there are lessons there to learn. Is war what we want to do--destroying the world of me and you? Do we not want to get old and gray, and watch our children love laugh and play? What is this hate we feel? What makes this hate something real? Why do we let it tear us apart, when in us lives a living beating heart? Time out! I say, mankind has come a long way. Can we look back at all the things we have done? Can't we see that we are a human race of one? The truth is these are really the times for great love and fun?
