Do You Ever Ponder

DO YOU EVER PONDER?

DO YOU EVER PONDER THE HIGH COST OF DEATH?

FROM BABIES IN THE WOMB

TO OUR ANCESTORS IN THEIR TOMBS

DO YOU EVER WONDER WHY WE LIVE ONLY TO DIE?

DO YOU EVER PONDER WHY WE ALLOW SO MANY TO SUFFER?

FROM THOSE TOO STARVED TO LIVE

TO THE GREEDY HOARDING IT ALL IN BANKS

AS WE RUSH ON TO OUR DOOM

DO YOU EVER WONDER WHY MONEY HAS SO MUCH POWER?

AS IT ROBS OUR TOMORROWS

KILLS OUR MOTHERS AND FATHERS

POISONING OUR AIR LAND AND SEAS

DO YOU EVER PONDER THE CRUELTY WE SHARE?

AS WE TAKE UP WEAPONS TO KILL

DO YOU EVER WONDER WHY WE CAN’T STOP

ALL THE FUNERALS THAT MONEY HAS BOUGHT?

DO YOU EVER WONDER WHY WE LET MONEY LIE?

HOW MUCH IS TOO MUCH TO SAY?

CAN WE HEAR OUR GODS TELL THE WAY?

WHILE MONEY ONLY MAKES EVERYONE PAY

DO YOU EVER PONDER HOW MUCH IS TOO MUCH TO PAY?
