Where have the dreamers gone
What of the jobs left undone
Where is the love
Taught by men sent from above
Why did we forget GIVE PEACE A CHANCE
We traded in that for one last dance
What happened to LOVE IS ALL YOU NEED
We turned it into corporate greed
Where are the idealistic men
Who taught love and sharing
Jesus, Gandhi, Lennon we made martyrs of them
And now we forget the peace and caring
Were flower power and peace marketing ploys
So we could buy more destructive toys
Have we lost the ways
And decided to just go nuts these last days
Where is the hope
Of a brotherhood of man
Where we all help each other cope
Will we ever see these ideas again
A man wrote love thy neighbor
As a man said imagine
Yet it seems for man it will forever be unfinished labor
And those words seem to mean nothing to the politician or marketing man
So I shall plod along
Looking to these men for knowledge and hope
And I shall walk the best I can singing a KINKS song
And finding peace in my thoughts so with the greed I can cope
===========================================================
There's a hole in the atmosphere
And the glaciers are melting down
There's people running everywhere
And chaos in the town
There's a man living next to me
He's nowhere to be found
His wife has taken to gardening
And a strange smell coming from the ground
There's the beauty that I work with
She's very sweet it seems
But she's telling me every night she drinks a fifth
And then goes to the park naked and screams
Has the world totally gone crazy
Have we all lost our mind
Or could it be we need something cause we've become lazy
And now we are all one of a kind
There's the trusted principal
Who has never done wrong
Known his wife ever since she was a litle gal
But they found him at a gay bar wearing a sarong
The press tells us all we need
They hound and stalk for their story
And not for knowledge but for greed
But for a mistake i have yet to hear sorry
Now we all have chosen to live within our head
For the craziness is rotting society's very core
Me I shiver covered in my bed
Wondering if I ever locked my door
I meant this in some fun thought I'd give us some humor....... well there is humor in truth sometimes
==========================================================
TY for you comments and critiques so that I may write better.

I just love people who use the excuse "I use/do this because I LOVE the feeling/joy/happiness it brings me" and expect you to be ok with that as you watch them destroy their life blindly following. My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
