Let's sit on the fence

Let’s sit on the fence

 

Billions of babies each

Born the same way

Some live for years

Others just for a day

Time’s bubble bursts

In the infinite sway

Insignificant

Girl and boy

Let’s sit on the fence

Enjoy

 

Each individual’s

Part of the game

To partake or not

To partake is the same

Opinions uttered

Are placed in the frame

Is it best to be quiet

And coy?

Let’s sit on the fence

Enjoy

 

Conditions disputed

Tempers are flared

Dialogue breaks down

War is declared

Aggressors and pacifists

None of them spared

As missiles and bombs

Destroy

Let’s sit on the fence

Enjoy

 

Warlords conquer

Peace brokers beseech

Politicians proclaim

The God fearing preach

With fragile vows made

Agreements they reach

A new deal

Another ploy?

Let’s sit on the fence

Enjoy

 

At the end of the day

Does it matter my friend?

Rich or poor

We all end up the same

In the end

All the world’s a stage

In this land of pretend

Each object

All but a toy

Let’s sit on the fence

Enjoy
