Look Around
Look Around.
It's a black and white world,
With everything that's happening we need reasons,
Even with the sight of an eagle, you can't see.
It's an ancient writing in a new world.
With changes been felt around, we can't understand,
We can't even understand the language been spoken.
Money is a god and it's been worshiped by everyone.
But can too much offer solutions to our problems?
Children are been paid.
The knowledge of our heritage is been forgotten.
Our older people gave us the warnings,
We ignored their words, our ears become dumb.
Who then will we blame?
In this world, we will be in ruins,
To be seen by the younger generations.
Where one was great, memories will be remembered.
With time the greatness would be a story to be told.
Even with the pride, a king will have to fight to keep his territory.
His kingdom will rise, if he pass the knowledge to the younger ones.
Yet most kingdoms have become ruins.
Life is a gift and a death marks the end of an era.
Don't let my words offend you, get insight from them.
Clouds fill the sky, and the rain drops,
Giving hope, for rain gives life.
Look around, the world is becoming a desert.
Humanity is losing its meaning.
Look around, let your eyes see.
