GUESS WHAT? yup

I look around
the bleak world that surrounds me
the faceless crowd surging forward
each chasing materialistic dream

Where is happiness?
Where is joy?
Where is gladness?

Has all that left the world?
Gone without a trace?
Left us in this state of despair?

Am I the only one who thinks these thoughts?
The only one who ponders on what the world needs?
What it lacks?

No one smiles,
Laughs,
Cheers

Are we doomed to wander around,
Looking for happiness in
TV-screen-fame,
Work,
Cars,
Money?

I pray,
that we can learn to
find joy in those ordinary things,
which we overlook.

Let the things that are nought,
bring to naught the things that are.
