Can't We All Just Play Nice

Against all odds, we humans have survived

All the wars, natural disasters, and incredibly ourselves

We are such a combative lot

It's a wonder that we are able to co-exist at all

Everybody wants to be King of the Mountain

But what's the purpose

Really, no one gets out of this life alive

So stop and think about that for a moment...

NO ONE gets out of this life alive!

Shouldn't that be a sign, a reason

To make the most of our lives while we're here

Rather than running amok killing our fellow humans

Destroying our manmade structures

I've lived a lot of years

Observed a boatload of childish behaviour

Exhibited by a bunch so called intelligent people

The world is just one big playground

Can't we all just play nice
