The Path

The path divides, which to take?
Life depends on which you make.

To yourself, be true.
Or lie and cheat, like others do.

Vote with conviction for whats right.
Not just to win another fight.

The path to power and riches take.
Or economy and saving make.

To waste the riches of the earth.
Resources to plunder.

Grass plowed under.
A concrete jungle, everywhere.

If you take that road.
Go to you know where.

The path to Nature.
I swear.
