It is better to fail at your own life than to succeed at someone else's.

André Gide

Blind Deaf Numb

What has happened to the world?
Where did we go wrong?
Our needs are never fulfilled
Not enough are singing a song
This is new to me
This, I can’t embrace
Why can’t we see?
We’re killing this place

This is our fault
We are to blame
For all the trouble we caused
And the burning flame
I have pity
For all the people with greed
With all our huge cities
Never satisfying our need

=============================================================
We are blind
We can’t see
All the stricken people
Not yet free
We are deaf
We can’t hear
All the hungry people
No one to share
We are numb
We can’t feel
All the lonely people
Melt our hearts of steel
=============================================================

The world has lost its rightful ways
Going more and more off course
We just keep seeming to stray
So let’s go back to our original source
When first we begun
So innocent and free
Underneath the sun
And watching the sea

All the wars and hate
On religion and oil
It might already be too late
We are ruining the soil
The plants will die
Our precious foods too
Then you will hear our final cry
We need help, but who?

=============================================================
We are blind
We can’t see
All the stricken people
Not yet free
We are deaf
We can’t hear
All the hungry people
No one to share
We are numb
We can’t feel
All the lonely people
Melt our hearts of steel
=============================================================

Who will aid us in this dreadful plight?
But just look to your neighbour
They may help you in spite
Of all the things blocked from your sight
This is my first, this is my last
We need to look to the past
To not make the same mistakes
Are you up to the task?

So I leave you with this
Is this what you want?
Suffering and pain
Killing of the plant
