We Live In a World Once Peaceful

We live in a world once peaceful
Look at the world
Once it was so peaceful
Look at the plants
growing with no grudge 
Look at the animals
They got no shelter plan
Nor food plan yet both they never
Lack with nature
Look at the sea
So blues never dries 
Look at the mountains
Look at the sun
Look at the stars
Look at the moon
All so well from a 
Peaceful nature 

Oh look look look
What do you see

Look at us now 
Look at our governments 
All over the globe
Look at the system 
Look at the masses in
Chase of needs
Look at our roles of life today
Look at yourself 
Tell me if all is well
With a peace of mind
That nature requires

Oh look look look
What do you see

Look at our politics
Look at our moral lost life
Look at our new trends of lifestyle 
Look at the ghetto 
Look at Africa 
Look at the third world 
Look at our media 
Tell me if life is 
Suppose to be 
The way it is now

Oh look look look
What do you see

Look but see
If you see beyond  the
Eye 
Then you can feel 
it was once a world 
So peaceful
I wonder what happen 
If you got some cruel 
Let it out 
For peace we need to save 
Now 
For as in the beginning 
We live in a world once peaceful
