All the times that I've cried
Keeping everything I knew inside
It's hard
But it's harder to ignore it
–Cat Stevens (Yusuf Islam)
greed and war and vanity
liars on tv
crooks and phonies
creeps and fools
try and influence me
endless brutality
things i cant unsee
i just need some room to breathe
some space
to be me
cant they hear our cries?
do they know how to feel?
stop the taking
stop the killing
and let the people heal
by Richard W. Bray
