Here We Go Again
In Asia the missiles are tested and primed,
a fleet from the west prowls the straits,
two Governments roar and both threaten what for,
the world quietly watches and waits.
Another year over, a new one begins,
we age and they come round so soon,
at the toll of the bell we all huddle outside
in the light of the unblinking moon.
And what must that moon think as it passes each night
of this rock that it's known all it's life
where we scurry like ants yet behave like the Gods
with our weapons of war and our strife?
We're born and we die in the blink of an eye
we all make our small mark then we're gone,
We're all stuck on this planet and cannot get off
so why can't we all just get on?
