Wonderings

Sometimes I wonder what lies up ahead, 
a world full of wonder or a world full of dread? 
I dont understand why the people stand by, 
buyin into a system that bleeds us all dry. 
We live in a world that could be quite fantastic, 
and it doesnt require that we do owt too drastic, 
The change that is needed must come from within, 
Whatever your creed or the colour of your skin. 
Mistakes from the past are our lessons to learn, 
surely if we ignore them our planet may burn, 
From the heat of the sun or through nuclear war, 
All driven by greed, the urge to want more. 
I look to the future,the tide soon must turn, 
for better or worse is my only concern. 
Decisions decisions, the choice is all ours, 
do we sow seeds of thornbush? Or meadows and flowers? 
Your choice, your voice, so will you be heard? 
To just stand by and watch, I feel would be absurd, 
to not get involved and let others decide? 
No say in our future, our arms open wide? 
A world of big brother with nowhere to run, 
when they kick down your door cos your time has just come. 
A world of oblivion, can we steer clear? 
Do we have the solutions to banish all fear? 
A world of equality, built on respect, 
where the number one aim is to help and protect, 
and nurture good feelings of happiness true, 
where the grass is much greener, and the sky's a cool blue.
