The pain in my life never seems to end

  I thought the answer would be a friend

When times are hard they do not know

  so we put on a front and let the happiness glow

How we lie to try and fit in

  with those who are lost and need a true friend

People come and people go

  time passes by, time seems so slow

We have so much to do, so much to see

  we need to slow down, we need to be free

Work, sleep and eat is all it seems we do

  we take our lives for granted, the years are few

We all want luxury and very nice things

  we need to be happy with just being human-beings

The most dominant of species we are at the top of the list

  we have no enemies, but ourselves why does that exist?

We want power, glory and the best of the best

  what of those who do not have a place to rest?

As the dominant species we should be smart enough to see

  that without the things to sustain us we would not be

We destroy and forget not realizing in time

  there will be nothing left but a life of crime

It seems we do not care, we do not sway

  we go on with our lives and keep taking away

From the earth that has given so much in our day

  from what we eat to where we lay

People need to wake up, we are destroying our kind

  and alot of others but we seem not to mind!
