EXTRACT
WHY???...
May 9, 2001 (3:30am)
I sit and look at a blank wall
And muse
At this world
We’ve inherited
Full of turmoil, trouble and terror
And wonder why!
Then a soft voice speaks
There IS beauty
There IS peace
There IS love
Seek and you will find.
Why then do we
Opt for the negatives ---
Disaster, destruction, death
What has our inheritance
Really bequeathed us?
A voice speaks from within
You are the master of your fate
You must strive
To help humanity
You must be strong
On such as you
Does the weight
Of world peace
Depend.
