LEFT BEHIND
BLUE SKIES, BLUE SEAS, GREEN GRASS, GREEN TREES.
TIDY PAVEMENTS TIDY MINDS
PEOPLE WITH MANNERS....
ALL LEFT BEHIND
DO WE DECIDE THAT OUR LIVES WOULD BE BETTER?
AT A FASTER PACE.
AFTER WE DECIDE TO LEAVE THE HUMAN RACE?
WE HAVE NO TIME FOR OTHERS
AS WE SPEED ALONG
DROPPING LITTER WE DONT CARE
WE HAVE NO TIME
WE HAVE TO BE THERE
WE HAVE TO BE THERE FAST.
WE HAVE NO TIME TO WASH OUR HAIR.
SPRAY IT.
WE HAVE NO TIME TO WASH OUR PETS
SPRAY THEM
WE HAVE NO TIME TO ICE A CAKE
SPRAY IT
WE HAVE NO TIME TO CLEAN OUR SHOES
,TO CLEAN OUR WINDOWS
TO POLISH OUR BRASS,
SPRAY IT
SPRAY THEM
SPRAY OUR CROPS
SPRAY OUR FOOD
SPRAY OUR MINDS
MAKE US FOOLS
SPRAY OUR SKIES AND SPRAY OUR SEAS
THEN MY GRANDCHILDREN
THEY WILL SEE.
YELLOW SKIES,YELLOW SEAS.
YELLOW GRASS,YELLOW TREES.
LITTERED PAVEMENTS
LITTERED MINDS.
PEOPLE WHO HAD HOPE
ALL
LEFT
BEHIND
