Door To Decision

by Robson Grant

We come from a turbulent past To an info-age moving way to fast The fate of these lands Is now placed in our hands Will we bring destruction to an end Will we have the power to mend Save this fragile dreamland Wash away our footprints in the sand Global warming is causing weather changes right before our eyes But we still blacken our skies Sunrays take less time to burn our faces But we still destroy our rain forests and just leave empty spaces The men spill out of the factories everywhere Punching their time clocks basically unaware Don�t realize what's happening to the big picture The massive devastation of the atmospheric mixture Every day go through their daily motions Waiting it out for measly promotions Distant stares and silent prayers Monday to Friday . . . say goodbye Our oceans are slicked with oil spills Our waterways full of toxic waste that kills We build our cities on mountains of pollution Without an environmental solution We live our lives in search of wealth In the process damage our good health Crime stories are found on every newspaper page People loosing control in an uncertain age The victims of greed are getting younger In a world that still allows their hunger Our petty problems make us hang down our heads While million's go unfed Desire unfolds the light of our day But we cannot give in to the subtle decay We must rise above the haze descending Toward mass action mending We must take control of our actions today or the children of tomorrow will be the one's to pay The new innkeepers shall soon take charge of the next generation�s voyage at large Trends are patterned and patterns trended But man's damage must be ended!
