Never mind, the World Goes On

Never mind the world goes on without you.
Even you can’t stop the tide or keep the wave from crashing.
Vex and question, but, you’ll never find the answer.
Even if you knew the answer would it stop the coming season?
Reason and logic would be of no use

my friend, when you try to understand nature.
In my opinion, if it mattered, I’d say, “We
need the Mayfly as much as we need to save the whales.
Do unto other’s as you would have them do unto you,

that is the golden rule. All you really need to know.
He who is without sin go ahead and throw the first stone.
Each one is unique and no man is an island for sure.

We are the world. Yet the world will go on without us.
Only man can end the Mayfly and this I know is true.
Reach for the stars and at worst you’ll hit the back fence.
Look, “At least you’ll get off the ground.”
“Do unto others has you would have them done unto themselves.”

Goes the Platinum Rule. But, never forget the world rolls
on with or without you. “You are nothing special.” says one’s self.
Everyday another species is born and dies before our very eyes.
Sad, mother nature just laughs.

Only the gardener knows of the garden.
Never mind, the world goes on without me.
