Silence is silver when tranquility is golden
A meadow, birdsong, wild flowers untamed
At one with nature, no need to count further
Green is the colour of calm, it's claimed
A primal need to escape the turmoil
A tidal wave of humanity drowning the town
Feral and fervent, noise and pollution
The once swathes of green decaying to brown
They mill and spill with the will to kill
Survival of the fittest, pushing and shoving
We never evolved to live this way
Where is the empathy, caring and loving?
The world I grew up in has gone forever
I'm no hippy but I do crave peace
Will there ever be a time in mankind's time
When the folly of warring will cease?
