Where has gone my youth and dreams?
I look baffled at time as it disappears
Hold on to the speed of life
I struggle to catch up, I tire, I drift

May I see a yesterday again
So that time reverses, to give me a moment
I want to see the clean oceans, and brooks
They ain't so no more

I want to feel a thank you
Where have they gone?
If only I could put away automobiles
Just for a day, just to listen
To the sounds of horses on cobblestones

Be it that may, be they who progress
Buy, buy, buy, help grow clouds of mushrooms
Change fails more than succeeds
Hatred is nigh, time is no more

Respond to my call and let the waves of my heart fill your life with the wonders of love
(Daniel J D)

man and machine have and are destroying life as it is. greed has taken over and family values have turned to dollars as selfworth.  yes to change and go back to living off the land with out taking and destroying  to have a clear sky without smog and fresh water with out toxins as the air and water are important essntials of life  soon without them  life will no longer be and man will be destroyed by his own greed as others before     thanks for the great write

what concerns me as much is nanotechnology?
We will inevidibly destroy ourselves...
man holds great keys to technology, but whenever diverted by power and riches, will devour himself....

Very good write....

"Just for a day, just to listen
