How Many?

How many tears?
How many tears must fall?
Before life matters?
To us all.

How many graves?
How many graves were dug today?
Before someone asked:
why?

How many lies?
How many lies will it take?
Before money stops ruling our lives,
the planet dies?

Yes you're right money tries and does control most things in this world. But it won't stop anybody going to their grave !
