30. 21ST CENTURY MAN

 

IN A WORLD FULL OF VIOLENCE

WE’RE STUNNED BY THE SILENCE

OF VOICES WE’VE NEVER HEARD,

IT’S THE CRY IN THE DARK

THAT IGNITES THE SPARK

PLEADING THAT SOMETHING BE DONE.

IGNORING EACH OTHER

LIKE SISTER AND BROTHER

WHO KNOWS IF WE REALLY CARED?

IT’S THE BATTLES WE FIGHT

HIDDEN FROM SIGHT

THAT ARE NEVER REALLY WON.

WE LIVE OUT OUR LIVES

AS HUSBANDS AND WIVES

GOING OUR OWN SEPARATE WAYS,

EYES SHUT TIGHT

TO THE HORRIBLE SIGHT

OF THE DEATH AND DESTRUCTION ABOUT.

FROM OUT OF THE PAST

IT HAPPENS SO FAST

WE HEAD TO THE END OF OUR DAYS,

AND ONCE WE ARE GONE

MANKIND WILL GO ON

THE SAME AS BEFORE NO DOUBT.
