From Space

Looking from space
It seems like such a peaceful place
Blue and green forms a beautiful face

I come closer but it takes me years
And then I see the human race
They look really happy with no fears

I can see they are still living in caves
They are even jumping against the blue thing's waves
And then they eat with each other from what nature gave

I come closer even more
I see they have changed some of the things they wore
With fumes rising and lots of fighting it seems they have started some war

They are living in higher places
I can no longer see their faces
It seems their land is full of mazes

They achieved enlightenment or so they say
A lot of advancement for which they pay
Locked indoors not enjoying the day

Ignoring the beauty all around them
Actually allowing dull colors to cover the beauty that once surrounded them
What happened to them?

Walking in the street
I saw they are only looking under their feet
Walking with a constant monotonous beat

Followed them indoors
They are acting like animals on all fours
Fighting and screaming what is all this for?

Poor human race
You no longer walk with grace
It's no longer a peaceful place

Deep in thought, drifting away, take me away to another day. Where 'I love you' was felt, not spoken and little girls hearts were never broken.
