Clear Water

When the water formed streams; transparent and clear

And we splashed and laughed, without any fear

The Earth was not enveloped in a fog of doubt and war

And we had time to count each and every star

We played in the on the river bank or near the shore

The crown of compassion we all proudly wore

Until we started to hide between inside walls and glass

And we forgot outside, the sky and grass

When we did not have a purpose; a goal to strive for

We only wished to survive and smile before

And look how our goals have changed and improved

And although I believe we have reached far and wide

Sometimes, I wish our goals weren’t set so high
