The Fifty Seventh, Feb. 26, 2011

It is a concept that I find hard to believe
something beyond me to even conceive
I feel I am watching social sanity leave
and once its gone its so hard to retrieve


all for one and one all alone
feel the truth as it cuts to the bone
all for one and one all alone
cultural epitaph carve into stone


the present situation denies all sanity
a conscious decision leading to calamity
forsaking the rights of fellow humanity
driven toward disaster to feed the vanity

all for one and one all alone
feel the truth as it cuts to the bone
all for one and one all alone
cultural epitaph carve into stone

how can you condone the selfish actions
dividing a nation into useless factions
ignoring the masses very loud reactions
soon you will pay for your infractions


all for one and one all alone
feel the truth as it cuts to the bone
all for one and one all alone
cultural epitaph carve into stone

left too long without proper accounting 
no concern what tomorrow may bring
no worry about much of anything
soon you will hear the people sing

all for one and none all alone
a new truth that cuts to the bone
all for one and none all alone
cultural cry to carve into stone


its time to wake up and smell the future.

  1. Yes...definately a song. The rhythm and rhyme work out quite well, I think. It could be used at almost any age in any land.
