THE WORLD IS WHAT WE ARE





                                    THE WORLD IS WHAT WE ARE



                                    Rumbling roses and deafening noises 

                                    People running stamping on one another 
                                    Running for refuge across all borders 
                                    Hope scattered in the rubble of wars 

                                    A dead woman clutching little child to her chest

                                    Protecting her little girl even in death 
                                    Somebody pulls away the crying baby
                                    Pats her back and says 
                                  "  I am here, I am here "
                                    Don't cry baby don't cry"
                                    The baby calms down
                                    Unaware of the world around 

                                    We all are to be blamed for every war 

                                    Every chaos, every grief 
                                    Our nationalism , our prejudices
                                    Our gods, our ideals,  our selfishness
                                    Aggression of groups and the nations
                                    All exhaling deceit and violence 

                                    Benumbed by our daily lives

                                    We have lost the value of love
                                    Lost the empathy
                                    We have lost the sense of innocence
                                    The quality of simplicity 
                                    We are the creators of this violent society 

                                   Past is a big bag of ashes 

                                   Yesterday is the great-grandmother gone forever
                                   Tomorrow is a lady sitting uptight waiting
                                   For what and why

                                   Today has to understand the essence of innocence 

                                   The power of simplicity
                                   Today needs to be fearless
                                   Brave to accept the mistakes 
                                   To improve the waning world 

                                    We must negate the immature nonsense

                                    Created by some and followed by some 
                                    We need to work 
                                    Work from within ourselves
                                    Because we are the world...
                                    The world is what we are
