Imagine


********
Imagine
Imagine you, just a big eye in the sky
Looking down upon earth's plains
Valleys and mountain ranges;
Earth's people
Tell me, what would you see?

You'd see a world gone awry,
A world gone mad
People fanatically living in a superficial era
Lost but not knowing it,
Confused but not know why.

You'd see hardly any trees just a blanket of smog,
Of grime, dirt and dust,
Joseph's coat blackened by
 Neglect and disregard.

As a big eye in the sky you'd see
Buildings thrusting heavenwards
Sore-thumbs covered in band-aids
Hunger, depravation, deceit and conceit

What can we do to make a change?
How can we find the peace and tranquility
We so desperately seek and need?
The source is within us all

We must turn within and explore our inner beings
Things can change if only each of us
Would take the responsibility
To care for our individual plots in life

So as a big eye in the sky, tell me, what do you see?
Is there hope for us?
Or are we lost?
Totally doomed.

No!!!

I believe
---believe in
in humanity and that
There is a chance if only we look
Look within.
