Live Not For The World
Does it matter really
Whether we be happy
Or whether we be sad
Since the world goes on
Merciless
The rich one is unhappy
The poor one is happy
There’s no accounting for it
The world just rolls on
Cruel
It matters not if we strive
Or if we loiter in laziness
And wait for dumb luck
Rewards are not always given
Unfair
Beauty is often unseen
Ugliness makes top billing
Then there’s confusion
As to which is which
Unjust
Laughing makes a loud noise
Crying is mostly silent suffering
The world we know goes on
Unaffected by either emotion
Cold
No matter what we do
If we live on to old age
Or die young and new
The world won’t stop
For me or for you
The best we can do therefore
Is live in the world aware
That it will go on as it does
Stopping for no one
Not one.
