I'M Talking Who's Listening
From North, South, East, and West
I think all of us are full of stress
All the old values are in demise
Half truths, no truths, are just lies
Radio and TV tell you half the story
Newspapers and magazines are more gory
New terror is conflicts that abound
A cry of fear is our new sound
The criminals have endless rights
While the victim is lost in his own plight
No pretense
Now days who uses common sense
There is a lot of unhappiness and a lot of strife
Just look around how can we improve life?
War after war seems like the inevitable solution to a problem
But peace and love is the only way to solve them
Does anybody care?
Is the answer because we all live in fear.
So what is your answer?
It is eating at our thought and lives like cancer.
The consciousness of humanity must soon grow to incorporate this truth
The world as a whole can finally come to a place of peace and harmony now that is proof.
No one is better or worse;
History repeats itself, mankind is that our curse?
It is better to be violent, if there is violence in our hearts, than to put on the cloak of nonviolence to cover impotence. ~Gandhi
