No room for greed
Have you ever felt like you didn't belong?
as you are now or when you were young
It's a lonely old feeling, that can make you sad
some people may think that you're utterly mad!
You look into things and study them hard
to relay the message that is so very stark
The message is love, truth and harmony
and you don't understand how others can't see
This world that we live in, was given for free
a place to connect and to share humanity
A place to learn lessons and knowledge to feed
no room for selfishness, lying and greed
The ancients knew their role on this land
and worked hard together, hand in hand
No-one went hungry or died of the cold
for God provided free food and energy untold
The earth provides everything that we need
but mans hunger for more, created the greed
His neighbours he left abandoned and poor
while he and his brothers took more and more
