Here I am alive and well at a grand age now
And saner than I've ever in my life been
But after a life time of facing the facts reality
There are so many that live in some kind of dream
So many on the planet following some un seen hope
Others trying to out think the richest that be
Whatever happened to the simple hard workers
Of long ago that of that life once wrote poetry
I've traveled this planet vastly and took note
And found the love of my life and peace of mind
As well as an inner happiness I've never known
And done my best to leave some memories behind
But here we all are upon our only planet home
With there's many still trying to think yet of ways
To find yet more methods of anything but peace
While there's endless other's who sit in daily praise
I once long ago thought I knew something of future
But now I cringe at whatever in time could be
Rocks now flying passed earth at a more so rate
Disasters more often both upon the land and sea
The gap between the richest and the poorest
Getting wider every day as well as every night
Religions and political views all getting mixed up
And many worldwide things to have ones soul in fright
Once simplicity how it ruled the way for so many
The basics once is all a family needed to survive
A loving family a home a job an ability to get ahead
But many out there now with little chance to stay alive
Everybody's an expert in what love is on earth
Be it how they know God or a simple answer true
Of how simple it is to stay so happy and so healthy
With some as if new world thinking of a few things to do
Most poets now don't write in rhyme any more at all
There's not much left that they have not changed
Common sense and old school values mostly gone
I'm trying to think of anything of late not rearranged
But there must be others still alive on this planet
That without too much trouble can remember a time
One could simply wake up in the morning each day
And know all in the world we live in was simply fine.
