Count Your Blessings

It’s irreversible
It’s inconceivable
This disregard for life
Present, malignant and rife
Weighed down by demands of well being
Vulnerable to disease
And now a murderous rampage is plaguing the globe
Another reason to feel ill at ease
Frenzied, obsessed with the need to oppress
We’re all transgressors in your eyes
It’s irreversible
It’s inconceivable
This disregard for life
Present, malignant and rife
Preoccupied, it’s consuming my l mind
Trying to preserve my current way of life
Relationship problems get the best of me
Vexed by this small minded society
Constantly reminded that things could be worse
Reminded that my life could take a sinister turn
Count your blessings while they last
Savour the moment before it’s passed
Frenzied, obsessed with the need to oppress
We’re all transgressors in your eyes
It’s irreversible
It’s inconceivable
This disregard for life
Present, malignant and rife
I yearn for a future
Where compassion is universal
I yearn for a life
Where my values comply
I hope for an afterlife
Where I can find peace of mind
Hope
Hope
