Sometimes
Sometimes I think, sometimes I dream
Of future times that may be less mean
When peeps can tell the truth all day
Not hide behind some smoke screen play
If all the world had listened well
When John imagined and did tell
Everyone that they could help change
The world from war to peace ain't strange
Not that I was so deluded
To think that all would be included
For many evil plans remain
Too many men are quite insane
Megalomania must be epidemic
Greed is surely now quite systemic
Commercial interests rule ever more
Their power exceeds countries, that's for sure
Ah but we few do long for more
cooperation and love to endure
Mesmerised by beauty that transcends
The cheats and bullies and poor pretence
Come let's dance amongst the trees
Where we can join the birds and bees
Avoid the traps of urban wares
Strip away those worldly cares
Circle around a simple fire
Nothing more than root desire
Poise and grace and passions freed
Indulge in just our basic needs
Hold the torches for the other
Maybe we can still yet discover
What man once did have to leave
When he first chose to deceive
Sometimes I dream......
