Way of the World

Hunger dies with hungry
but the fed die
of gluttony
It’s the way of the world

Mighty rise as
meek fall
Many toil for one’s spoil
It’s the way of the world

While a child plays
another slaves
with no hope of day
It’s the way of the world

Lives needed to
save lives. Blood
must flow before peace can
It’s the way of the world

Darkness is needed
so that light can shine
It’s the way of the world

There is no beginning
And no end
and yet it begins and it ends
It is the way of the world
