Hope is cheap, change is costly...

We seek peace while waging war,
Live today at expense of tomorrow.
Help the weak to show we're strong,
Search for happiness in people's sorrow.

We live in a worldful of contradictions,
Softened hearts with hardened nerves.
Lofty promises without conviction,
In guise it is for those they serve.

Thus humanity's saving grace,
Will not be in our politician's hands.
It's coming together face to face,
To leave collective footprints in the sand.

The lost wisdom of our forefathers,
We so dearly need relearn,
We know so little of each other,
Yet it's such knowledge that we yearn.

Hence us - the ascending generation,
Who have iPods, Facebook and Twitter,
Need to ask ourselves a question,
Should we let dear Mother Earth wither?
