Instinct.Poet Posted March 1, 2005 What Ever Happened! What ever happened to the greetings of What ever happened to "happily ever after"? Where all the sadness & pain turns to joy & laughter And Why on my way to the promise land, no one keeps their promises? Kind of ironic that destiny is concealed And only revealed through Revelations by theologists What's the cause of this global human suffering? Where lives are cut short While Technology keeps us buffering... It's tough enough working consistently to earn our way Without getting to enjoy the leisure each day to burn our pay And Why when we see the people needing help do we automatically turn away? Are we that defensive, that retentive, or that pretentious? That we in turn act offensive And compassionless to those neglected Who knows what's next in this world that has reached post-humanity Where even young children are killing their closest of family Sad to see the shape of the world where hatred is a given Since when did "happily ever after" change to "Hey, at least I'm living"?
