The Changing World... 


Deep calm sea, roaring with tempest

Just born child, dies of hunger

Evening Primrose, seen up in the morning

Oh destiny, where you are? World is changing

 

Haves and have-nots, share the same blood

Haves live in the mirage of immortality for themselves

When have-nots smoulder in grope of darkness

Who shall I follow? World is changing

 

Footsteps on the moon, glory of human endeavour

Discovery of depths of ocean, shows the wonder of human power

Oh, creative being, an adventurous soul

How close are you to your own heart? World is changing

 

You human-being, savage of the earth

You human-being, homicide of fellow beings

You human-being, butcher of your own self

What is this blood thirst? World is changing

 

Do justice to the rules of life

They do justice to you

O feudal find, mortal body of flesh

I don’t understand justice? World is changing

 

Sea is growing, heat is burning

Dust you are, dust shall be your future

Today we are, tomorrow is mystery

Be what you are, in this changing world.
