Why are we so power hungry

Obsessed with fame, fortune, and money

We long and weep for peace and quiet

Yet all we do is yell and riot

We want the world right in our hands

But there's only one world and million in man

Striving hard to reach the top

won't give up till our hearts stop

Why can't we just live day by day

for money isn't here to stay

and fame is nothing but filth and pay

but life is substance in which we remain

Taste the air and kiss the trees

Abandon selfishness, lust, and greed

Enjoy the Earth and all it's wonders

For it may all be lost

When you meet your eternal slumber
