Life's Puzzle

Are we people seeking answers to our lives, hopes and dreams? From beginnings of our youth, we're taught to plot and scheme In life we learn to make our place and to maximize our dreams We work to pay our way, or are we paying for others schemes? To respect all of the people, who seek prominence and wealth Learn from leaders of this world, and stack the hand you're dealt Your worth and happiness are found by seeking wealth in coin only a few can take but, all must pay, it's all in the club you join You sell your smile's for a dollar, and your freedom for your joy Fact is your still building monuments for coin collectors to enjoy Leaders use people in this world, for labor as a remote control toy push a button, pull the stick, to control each women, man and boy Is their similarity, of life and history we've learned from all our books? This life you've led, was it the plan to leave our children on the hook? It's said we can learn from our past, to avoid making the same mistake less intelligence then the ape man, as we teach mistakes not to make Having the same ideas, of our worth, as when Jesus walked this earth Do you think the value of our life, is the number of coins we are worth? Think you've missed the meaning of this journey, ever since your birth? Our journey is to learn and teach, all the children, not to take the mirth. In his words, the circle of life is to be followed by heaven, as we all know with an eternal peace, happiness and joy, without pain, suffering or woe Instead of chasing coin and following false leaders like herds of sheep spread destruction and defile the air, sea and land for more coins to heap Shouldn't we prepare to enter Heavens gate, if this is what we seek?
