Old Light

Life is interconnected
We are related to all

Still no respect for the living
The awareness is lost to involve the whole

The death of a living being does mean nothing
No meaning, no necessity
Your body is not in need
You have no mouth to feed
Your survival does not depend
On this life to end

There is no dignity
Where is your integrity
To destroy a life so pure
Regardless of our brotherhood

Minds will be changed
Consciousness will return
Some day even you will see
That we need each other

Life is interconnected
We are related to all
Lost all respect for the beings around
The awareness is lost to involve the whole

We have seen it all
We can watch them every day

We have seen the trees falling down
We have seen the innocent suffering
We have seen developers gloating
And machines destroying everything

But the masses still stay silent, watched by their oppressors
Being silenced by artificial gods, false idols and enslaving drugs
Being fed with brazen lies, bitter pills and voiceless cries

We will awake to this world a new
An old and known light
Will shine for all life
