If we had unlimited opportunities to spend on life
would we still choose to disburse death?
would we still choose to disburse death?
If we could opt for beauty, health, happiness, and peace
would we still decide to select ugliness, ill will, destruction, and war?
would we still decide to select ugliness, ill will, destruction, and war?
Why is there always time and resources for hate;
acceptance of greed, rage, ruin and devastation
but no patience for charity, tranquillity, renaissance, or goodwill?
acceptance of greed, rage, ruin and devastation
but no patience for charity, tranquillity, renaissance, or goodwill?
How has humankind managed to survive
while continually destroying itself and its surroundings?
while continually destroying itself and its surroundings?
How much longer can avarice and fury be satiated with
entropy and death
without ever nurturing wonder and life?
without ever nurturing wonder and life?
When can the sound of music drown out the guns of war,
the scent of nature surpass the smell of blood,
the green of new shoots overtake the memorial poppies?
the scent of nature surpass the smell of blood,
the green of new shoots overtake the memorial poppies?
