From a Distance

Form  a  distance  i  can  see  the  world,
From  a  distance  i  can  see  its  people,
From  a  distance  i  can  see  everything  in  it.
A  from  a  distance  i  can  see  the  cruelty  performed  by  men  on  men  and  
animals.
From  a distance  i  can  see  the    harmony  among   men ,
From  a  distance  i  can  see  the  pleasure  and  pain  in  it  mindless  people  
acting  mindlessly.
i  never  mind  staying  in  it.
But  i  mind  living  with  its  inhabitants.
And  i  stand  on  the  mountain  top.
Looking   down  at  the  great  confusion.
People  hustling   and  bustling  for   thier  living.
Where  youngster  do  not  respect  their  elders.
Where  citizens  revolt  against  their  country.
But  yet   still,  life   must  go  on...........and  on.
From  a   distance  i  can  see  the  world  like  a  stage  where  actos  and  
actresses  play  their  parts.
From   a  distance  i can  see  people  dying.
Some  as  early  as  birth.
I  love  to live  in  this  world,but the people  in  it  makes  it  a  mess, so from  a  
distance  i  would  love  always  to  be.
