We Pass This Way But Once


Our world is really very small compared to time and space
We sometimes over simplify our universal place

Things we really need to live like water, sun and air
We so much take for granted in the minding of their care

We get ourselves hooked into things, not really ours to do
And when it turns to custard as these things tend to do

Instead of letting go of it and leaving it alone
We hold to it possessively like a contentious bone

We forget other creatures live and share our global nest
We go along like idiots and disregard the rest

I sometimes think we're all a part of this great Master plan
That something, somewhere crafted it anticipating Man;
...
would stumble bumble through his life devising other ways;
of trying to be in control of how he lived his days

Inevitably we each must make that final curtain call
but as we leave the stage I doubt we've understood at all!.
