Can’t we see that the world is changing There’s no time for love anymore No time to care anymore No time to enjoy all that nature gave us on this world We’re always in a hurry rushing to work every day Because if we want food on the table we need to earn our pay We are tired at the end of the day Exhausted at the end of the week We are slowly destroying our lives and the world we are living on with our cars causing pollution with our wars convinced that killing each other will bring us a solution Isn’t it sad that we have enough time to do what’s bad and too little time to do what’s good Time is such a precious thing of which we have so little because we only live once Let’s think about what’s important to us Our friends, our family? Let’s think about what our world really means to us and how we want our lives to be Time passes by so quickly Let’s spend the time we have left giving love to one another and cherish everything that we have enjoying that what’s given to us on our world, called earth Let’s open our eyes to all the things that can make these the best days of our lives.
Reason for writing:
Everyone seems to be rushing through life these days. No time for this, no time for that. In the 80's it wasn't like this, but the in the ninetees everyone seems to be busy, busy, busy. That was the reason for me to write this poem.
