No More to Spend

·Wandering Tide

How easy it is to kill, So simple to destroy- The Earth, The Water, The hearts of humankind. How easy it is to hurt, So simple to break- The hope, The trust, The bond between you and I. Yet you care not For any plea Nor heartfelt cry, Not without an attached Bargain and dollar sign. The people's pain Fuels your greed, Our isolation Leaves you satisfied And waiting for us to die. Will the earth be yours then? Will you know true love then? Will peace never leave you then? When there is no more to spend.
