Just Remember.

A message has been sent through time
To show the way things should be.
Our lack of understanding is our crime
And of what we dare not see.

*Just remember that steel will eventually rust
And concrete buildings shall fall.
Man turns to dust
While tide and time befall.

Take from the land and all it has
And give nothing back in return.
The balance of life is affected, alas...
Maybe there is a lesson to learn.

*Just remember that steel will eventually rust
And concrete buildings shall fall.
Man turns to dust
While tide and time befall.

So poisoning our food resource
Then ingesting it is mad.
Suffering is our own discourse
Of what we had good but turned bad.

*Just remember that steel will eventually rust
And concrete buildings shall fall.
Man turns to dust
While tide and time befall.

Mother Earth shakes in fear
And spews out in utter disgust
At the life she sustains so dear,
How could we betray her trust?

*Just remember that steel will eventually rust
And concrete buildings shall fall.
Man turns to dust
While tide and time befall.

Welcome indeed... many of us can relate to this one.  I enjoyed the vision of song lyrics here.  Can't wait to "sing" with you again.

(big angel hugs) God Bless You, dearest friend, sadly the world is corrupted by so many artificial forces and governments and soon I hope the capitalistic system collapses so we can be free of the madness and embrace nature again! (sigh) This is wonderful, sweet friend, yay, welcome to Passions, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Isobel, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
