People, Change!
Why does time alter man?
Why do we have to forget?
Why can’t instead of can?
Why forbid rather then let?
People think they can evolve,
They learn from their mistakes.
Not knowing, history will revolve,
Their ignorance is all it takes.
We’re going back to the cave,
De-evolving to the Stone Age.
Technology can’t make us safe,
Witlessness is our cage.
Knowledge is what we need,
Not money, power, and greed.
Knowing makes us humans,
Not missiles and deadly guns.
Open your eyes humanity!
Cast your head up and see!
Your faith lies not in the deep,
But if you don’t there it will be.
Don’t let this happen to you
Be compassionate and patient
With your fellow men, who
Aren’t quite so intelligent.
Help them reach for the sky,
For we all are born equal,
Together we will unify
We won’t ever quarrel.
Let this happen, this I ask
Tolerate one and another
Let go of that old mask,
Let’s make peace. Together.
