I want to know

I want to know about all the silly things that life brings
The things that make us happy or ill about all living
Like the acid rain why it sting or the beauty that causes us to sing
About politicians & their crooked kings,
Their imbalance of wealth to increase their strength
The reasons why so many looking to the sky for an almighty high
Or about the moment I'll die, I ponder will I have time to say goodbye

I want to know the reasons why the bombs must fall from the skies
So many having a good time from the deaths on other mortal kinds
Few will hear the victims' cries over the shout of lies
Seeing souls through their eyes is a step in reaching kind
I am one that wish not to be blind so I wrote these lines
I do hope humanity will be in time producing kinder people with smiles
In time people care not on styles no more family lost in pride

I want to know who is knocking at my door?
Who is helping the poor to get up off the dirty floor?
A stranger in the night a friend sharing without a fight
Somewhere along this sight a positive change will come into light
For now society is run by imbalance rights of polluted sights
There is no hiding from their might
So lose the thought of escaping in the night

I want to know after looking through the broken glass
Where shall I go if they continue to blow up Mother Earth
There are humans selling real estate right here on Earth
It's for the planet Mars, for when human's ego reach that far
The price is like the distance to the red star
This is only for the wealthy of upper cast
The ones financially able to afford the shuttle blast

So many things to know
In this limited time of life's show
