Can it be I hear an alarm
The world we knew has lost its charm
It’s upside down and turned around
Looks like we all are losing ground
While terra firma seems so grand
Society destroys the land
We need take care before we’re lost
Our carelessness too great a cost !
There was a bridge in the Great War
That both sides had been fighting for
So many died in that one fight
From early morn to darkest night
Tis true that they performed their best
Though in the end all failed that test.
They died there by the River Somme
As back and forth all hell did come
Of Brits alone some price to pay
Fifty-eight thousand fell that day
Now this occured lifetimes ago
And none are left who really know
But tell me please if any can
What does this say about a man ?
I wish, I wish I had the words
To tell the crowd how to become
A connosieur of the absurd
Or prophecy of dumb and numb.
This world grows smaller day by day
And madness has now grown a voice
I wish that I could run away
Or help dear God to find a choice !
The joy, sweet joy each morning brings
The sun’s awake and nature sings
I hear the sounds each raindrop shouts
While running down the gutter spouts.
The rush of water splashing by
Inspires the rainbows in the sky
Though early morn seems cold and bleak
It has a voice that needs to speak.
We are alive and truly blessed
Awaiting life at God’s behest
With so much more we’ve yet to taste
There’s not one moment left to waste !
Oh, Dorothy where are you now
Who’ll till the fields, who’ll milk the cow
Who’ll tend the geese and raise the hen
Did we forget remember when ?
The farmer is a dying breed
Who’ll grow the food and plant the seed
What shall we do to stay alive
How will the rest of us survive ?
The world has lost its common sense
Its main concern is self defense
When all is done we’ll look around
Discovering we’ve run aground !
Dear Lord above what shall we do
The future now seems overdue
I wonder what would Noah think
Of mankind trembling on the brink ?
The time has come, the time has gone
The time is now to voice alarm
Our world has changed make no mistake
No time is left to catch a break.
The days grow short, I fear the count
With each new moon the totals mount.
When will the clock that ticks away
The hours and minutes of each day
Declare that life is just pretend
And moving closer to its end ?
I do not know, I wonder why
Can it be worth another try ?
The snake has left its skin behind
In hope that those who watch are blind
To cuckold all before their eyes
And speed their cultures quick demise
All values lost the powers lag
Who will defend the heroes flag ?
The world is drowning in distress
I know you’ve heard it’s S. O. S.
Their cries get lost in foolish things
Like selfishness vain glory brings
While on their lips all stained with lies
These wanton ones, Gods will defies
They carry on with true remiss
There seems no way we can dismiss
Horrendous waste that they sustain
Until we’ve learned to trust our brain !
There is so much love and there’s so much hate
It occurs to me that the hour grows late
And the world grows cold in its need of haste
As we ignore how much it’s laying waste
To our hopes, our joys and moderate ways,
With not one thought to the ending of days
We’ll seek answers there in the mystic deep
Because in our dreams even dragons sleep !
