The Inheritance

I have nothing to give but my hope and dreams young one or would you rather inherit this earth?
With the cruelities and insecurities etched upon our very genetic profile..and our endless parades
Have you seen the news lately or looked out of your window without the curtain in your way?
Tell me what you see? Is it beauty or an image, what lies have your eyes told you today?
Take a deep breath, try relaxing... Does your skin know your name?
What is your favourite colour my love, red,black or grey?
If only you knew about a colour called green and how it made our earth beam!
They were our best friends - Clean air, pure water and smile....
Dear, the price we paid for our ignorance is what really made us slaves
We were selfish and the devil knew
Now tell me honestly my child, would you like to inherit my hopes and dreams?
To wake up to blue skies and singing birds and breathe the air and smile
A future that knows the colour green and the life it symbolises
Change, my young one, you can bring..i know, i believe you will say yes to my hopes and dreams...
