There's more

 

 

There’s more

Yesterday I walked through the streets

And I saw the empty houses

Closed, shut, no-one in them

Around the corner

A family, sleeping on the street

Nowhere to go to. Without future? Without hope?

The next morning

I watched the people rushing around

Running to work

They don’t see each other

They run as if being chased

But they swear when they bump into someone

No time for friendliness now

No time to waste. Gotta earn a living

To pay the rent, the food, the clothes

To keep the tax collector happy

Work eat sleep eat speed eat work sleep

Is there more?

Who invented this system?

Who survives in it? Last week my friend moved house

They want a family and a larger place

Now their money has run out

But still houses are being built for the highest price

Who will live in them?

God gave us the earth as a gift

But who gave us the right to make big business out of it

There’s more to life

Look around and you will see

Stop running and relax

Look, your neighbour might need you

Stop and listen

There is more.
