Shrinking World

Safety, comfort, food and offspring Is that all they need ? Could be! Doggies bark, the birdies sing Feeling happy, they can’t see Anything that spreads disturbance Evil species of wrong kinds Cause it would disrupt concordance In well balanced little minds They don’t need minds fluctuation Taking life without complaint I don’t have such consolation In the shrinking world I gained Hard to boast about the mission Of the restless human race Who believe that competition Is godsend, and fall from grace much too often, in their faith That the fittiest survive And the weaker must obey If they plan to stay alive Wars and troubles, nations power Tallest towers, I can’t bear I am jealous of wild flower As it grows without a care, Living free, until some soldier Tramples it by accident And my world gets little older In accordance that was meant.
