when you look outside your window,
what do you see,
the sun that shines with gold,
nature so unique and quite,
the world never sleeps,
somewhere people are awake,
and fighting hurting each other,
crashing and burning,
all this is learned from a child,
that is, is the way we live,
drummed into the minds of the adults, of our,
future,
teach them love honesty but most,
of all resect all mankind,
please look and see the changes,
all this is doing to the place,
we live
now and always
