Wanting, Waiting
Wanting, waiting
Loving, hating
Does this world count
All the good deeds that flow about
One said, God keeps our tears
in a bottle, bundled with fears
Or with happiness with our peers
We can stumble upon rocks
We can stare at broken clocks
Wanting waiting to be found
By all love that lingers around
Anger held within ones soul
Together we all will unfold
This mystery why we fight
among eachother
We are all equal
why do we hate eachother
dropping bombs all over poor countries
Shouting unkind remarks around the schoolground
almost everywhere
are battlefields
We only go on
Because we have to
This earth is beautiful
Let's try not to trash it
This is our only world
Only life
make it meaningful
