I woke up just the other day Everything I once knew and loved Was suddenly taken away So I went to see someone Who could open the door He screamed back you're not what we're lookin for
So follow your footsteps Right back out that door Everythings not the same I think the world is going insane I'm so sick and tired of what I see I feel like the whole world is blaming me
Not a word is spoken when he slams the door I told you you're not what we're lookin for Look around can you all see the mess Can we all do with out can we live with less I don't care what you say anymore Are you deaf! you're not what we're lookin for
You don't know how tough life can be I need some money can you help me today My life is missing its been stripped away When I'm back on my feet I'll repay you and more So shut your mouth and don't be sore I almost forgot you're not what we're lookin for
I drove around lookin for a friendly face Theres got to be someone left from the human race I drove on up to the packy store A man started banging on the side of my door Back right up this is not your store Your still not what we're lookin for
I don't know if this is all a dream Or my nightmare waiting for the very next scene In a world so bitter and full of hate Is this all we have is this our fate I'm feeling a little tired weak and sore Theres that voice you're not what we're lookin for
I've finally reached the end of this day They say I'm worthless don't waste there time They wont listen or hear anything I say Is it too much to ask I'm not commiting a crime I think I'll push the button and start a war Maybe then I'll be the person there lookin for!!!

a poem that reminds all of us....just be kind,and breathe,lets get out of this land of confusion...peace.
Nice poem,we all have to learn to,'live & let live'.A little kindness as much as the flame of a little candle can shed light through even a crevice in the darkest dungeon of the hardest heart.So start your war of kindness.
