Purple Elephant

The beautiful things we ignore The ulgy things we enjoy In search of the purple elephant we ravage the earth from Alpha to eta Down to Omega There is no more tree in this dystiopian land Because we can no more farm Greed has burried our land Looking for miracles we forget our God In search of churches that call their pastors Lord But I dont need to step out of my room because I talk to my Creator He is my motivator and my protector Young ladies go out in search for the purple elephant They crave for wealth that is not relevant They try to cheat time And do all sort of crime Selling their bodies for money But they become an empty shell Like a dry barren well Why search for the purple elephant When there is treasure under your feet And your mind and be expanded So that you never worry about what to eat In search of the purple elephant that you may never find When if you go across the Atlantic and leave this place behind Your paradise is in your mind It all start with how you think If you love your fellow brother Then this world will never shrink
