LIFE'S STRUGGLES



LIFE'S STRUGGLES

All around me as I stare
By God it's all clear
Care or not,life goes on
Dare to be different,thats my motto

Everyone's moving on a lane
Far and near;for pain's bane
Got one trouble or the other
Heartache, poverty,fear without order

I feel the tension in the air
Juggled together, crowned with tears
Kindling the fire of trouble
Laying the grounds for rubble

Men and women,young and old
Nowhere to go,in the cold
Open your eyes, de ja'vu
Peace,oh peace,where are you?

Queing for panacea that's nowhere to be found
Running from evil all around
Something we all need is love
To heal our hearts,by jove

Umbrella over our heads in the rain
Violin music to lull away our pain
We all have to serve as a
Xylem to channel love all the way

You and I have a role to play
Zealots lot,let's hold sway!
