Everyone wants to be better than the rest
Doing whatever to be the best;
Being a skyscraping tower
Filling with gaping power.
...
People are always in a hurry
Our minds in a flurry;
Just slow down
Before we all drown
...
We need to heed
The important message of greed;
Everyone is always trying to be tougher
But it's making us all suffer.
...
Open Up To Eden
I sit at this pond
Wondering why people aren't fond
Of such simple beauty so true
Instead choose to be blue?
Sounds of bumblebees humming
The wood peckers drumming;
With a slight breeze
Moving at ease;
The ripples are flowing
The pond looking as if it were growing.
It all makes minds expand
Not being oh so bland;
Still we choose to destroy this
Keeping us from simple bliss;
But instead choose to be stewards of land
And give it a helping hand.
This garden of eden was a giving
So we could be living
On this earth that is heaven
And created in just seven;
So let us save our planet so near to death
Before it takes its final breath.
