life is not all sandal scent

that sweet smell, that freshness spread,
that beautiful tune, that soft feel,
the beauty of nature is felt again,
but there are battles fought,
to win lands, to destroy lands,
to win the breeze, to pollute the breeze,
to win sunshine,
to cloud the lights,
to create cities of smoke,
to breach laws with a stroke,
to disband life, to secure strife
is this world to live in, is this the world one seeks,
what happened to sweet scent of sandal,
why is carbon rating now so important,
credit cards are gone, carbon credits are in,
oh!!! still i live, oh!! still i hope
