The Big Question
THE BIG QUESTION
Are you ever curious about your last day on earth
Does it make you question just what was your worth
Were your acts always equitable towards Man and Beast
Did you help their life's journey or was their pain increased
Did your God give permission to do with his animals what you will
Saying you might hunt them, exploit them, they're yours to kill
Were you ever told the Earth is mankind's to despoil and plunder
Have Mother Nature's jewels been wasted and plowed under
That creature in need did you turn your head, looking askance
Or did you promote compassion while there was a chance
For earth is a school and the syllabus of study
Was for an elevation of soul, not for greed, lust or money
On that day of days the bank account couldn't mean less
It's our acts while on earth are what shall redeem us
