Some May Feel I Am Negative

In my lifetime of wars, famines and prejudice the World may not be free Nor not in a thousand years from now or so 'twould seem to me For acts of terror leads to more terror and mistrust leads to hate And in this age of advanced technology not much to celebrate. Some may feel I am negative just going by what I say That I'm one of those who look at life in quite a jaundiced way But in a World where some have too much and many of hunger die To sing about a perfect World would be a perfect lie. The World would be a better World without human selfishness and greed And the marvellous gift of selflessness to a better World would lead But us humans have our failings and in some ways we are small And it's all part of our Nature, we are human after all. In my own lifetime and centuries from now I cannot seem to see A World that's free of war and bloodshed and human misery And men will still wage war for God and Land and in war so called winners don't win And for the God we do not know we neglect our God within.
