 THE TRAVELING LIFELONG BUSH POET

Looking Closer


So many they travel the world so wide
And only see the sights~
I myself have seen so many .. but I
As well see so many people losing their rights~
And I see the world wide animal kingdom
Upon our earth hurting so~
I see rainforest's getting smaller
With way less room to grow~
I see this earths greedy taking up
Ever so much more and more room~
I see the poorer getting yet poorer
It's becoming almost the rich mans boom~
I see more and more laws and regulations
That mostly restrict only the poor~
And the powers that play world wide monopoly
Always thinking of new ways to better their own score~
I see television almost all of the time
Instructing ever so our young~
In so many ways of violence and war
Been that way more so since most begun~
I see the prices always rising
Getting almost too expensive now for some to live~
I see money becoming God upon earth more so
And for what matters so many forget to give~
I see a once beautiful sublime planet slowly dying
From what it once used to be~
If one looks just a little closer
All of these things a soul can see~
I see so many once freedoms taken slowly away
And life getting for some so harder still~
The only exemption seems to be money it's self
And the ability to pay life's almost bribe bill~
I see the wealthiest and the greedy
Like cattle how they graze~
Only taking the very best of it all and ..
Walking over the rest as if it was useless maze~
But when a soul does travel so
Looking closer one can see~
A kind of world wide sadness and pain
And for so many a very confusing destiny~
