WHO ?

MY LIFE IS AN OPEN BOOK READ BY MANY,

AND MY FRIENDS ARE FEW AND FAR BETWEEN.

THE LOVE THAT I GIVE IS FREELY GIVEN

AND NOTHING IS ASKED IN RETURN, KNOW

WHAT I MEAN?

THIS WORLD IS CHANGING FAST, I CAN SEE IT

CHANGE BEFORE MY VERY EYES.

THE NEW IS OLD, THE OLD IS NEW, WELL, SO BE IT,

IT MAKES FOR A MUCH MORE INTERESTING LIFE.

CHILDREN DO NOT SEEM AS CHILDREN ANY MORE,

THE OLDSTERS SEEM MUCH YOUNGER THAN BEFORE.

THE YUPPIES ARE NOW FRIGHTENED OF OLD AGE,

AND THE REST OF US ARE RUNNING TO THE STORE

TO BUY FOOD, AND TOO MUCH USELESS STUFF,

IT SEEMS WHEN WE BUY WE DO NOT GET ENOUGH

OF THE JUNK THAT IS OFFERED TO CATCH OUR EYE,

THEY WANT ONLY OUR MONEY, THEY ENTICE US TO

BUY.

SO MUCH TIME AND MONEY IS WASTED

ON THINGS THAT ARE TOO FRIVOLOUS FOR WORDS,

IF ONLY THE FOOD WERE FRESH AND TASTED

AS GOOD AS THEY SAY IN ALL THEIR ADS.

OH, WELL, LIFE IS LIFE, OR SO THEY SAY,

MONEY IS JUST MONEY TO FRITTER AWAY,

FOR ONE CANNOT TAKE IT WITH HIM WHEN HE DIES,

SO SPEND IT, OR GIVE IT AWAY, REACH FOR THE SKIES.

WHO AM I? I AM EACH PERSON IN THIS WORLD,

WHO IS CRYING FOR TRUE JUSTICE TO BE UNFURLED

FROM OUR LAW MAKERS, SO SUPREME,

BUT REMEMBER, FOLKS, THEY ARE PEOPLE,

AND TRUE JUSTICE HERE IS ONLY A DREAM.
