One Part

Humanities struggles with itself

One Part               
________

(part one)

Is it real for suffering,
Or is it real for fights?
Is my life real or not?,
I ponder in the night.

In my mind this life's not real,
For all its games and plans.
I'm not complaining cause I'm sick
But cause I'm sick of man.

Why can't you see the suffering?
Why can't you see the fights?
Why can't you see that I am real.
And you're messing with my life?

But you don't see,
For all your crazy world.
You're just like me - a human being,
With potential to unfurl.

(part two)

We all should end the suffering.
We all should stop the fights.
If we all were to work together,
It could all change over night.

All we need is a similar goal.
For which we all will run.
We all can change this beautiful world,
And work at it all as one.

No one should have to suffer.
No one should have to fight.
We are all living in a horrible world,
And all know it isn't right.

I am sure it can all be done,
For it should have always been.
One world's fight for all mankind,
Living together all as friends.
