The real joy in life comes from doing what can't be done.


I'm tired of this life i lead.
There's something more
than all this greed !
It hampers life!
It drags it down !
Deep beneath the sorry ground,
and there it buries life so deep,
that only willows know to weep.

Yet, perhaps if we could see,
the horrid things that come from greed,
we would stop our hungry hands,
and give the life back to the lands.

We can not live off dirt and grease.
We all must try to live in peace.
This is the land we say we own 1
What will it be when nothing's grown ?

We as a people spend far to much time worrying about meager things. Perhaps it is time we look in wonder to the world around us , and see that it is crumbling.
