World In A Mess

By Johannes Schneeberg

 

I guess the world is in a mess.

I confess the world is in a mess.

I want to change the world.

I learn from what is gone,

For what is yet to come.

I don’t want to suffer for a messed up world.

 

Human Rights are still being trampled on,

Yet human dignity is violated.

The wars go on and through them the killing.

The violence starts in the words.

With words already you can hurt.

 

This planet earth is a wonderful beautiful pearl,

Threatened by exploitation, pollution, contamination.

We destroy our base, where we stand on.

The climate is changing by our own cause.

Behold, be aware and change your own thoughts.

 

If all the water of the seas would be tears of misery,

Would it help so we could clearly see?

How can we wash away the evil forces, never giving up,

But work altogether and bring it to the top?

What’s wrong with the world, what’s wrong with us?

Can we find out the reason, can we get on the bus?

 

We live in one world torn into two.

Read the real one, deal with the ideal one.

Bring them both together and it will change the weather.

Even it is impossible to realize the ideal world,

Without ideals, reality can’t be changed.
