Bright ocean waves that sing in silver wind 
care not humans kill each other with hate, 
though Mother Sea generated our souls 
from passionate desire to know the light 
that beams from Father Sun across the void, 
so I weep for kind people killed in wars. 

Bright ocean waves that howl in thunder storm 
care not humans kill each other for land, 
laughing as they tear down tall city towers 
built from steel that we forged in flames of Hell 
to prove this world belongs to us alone 
till Pandemonium crumbles in the sea. 

Bright ocean waves that hum in sunset glow 
care not humans kill each other for truth, 
oblivious to our endless holy wars 
that we conduct to prove our glorious God 
grants us exclusive right to rule the Earth, 
enforcing our justice with swords and guns. 

Bright ocean waves that dance in gentle breeze 
care not humans kill each other for faith, 
deaf to our prayers we whisper in despair 
when famine and disease decimate nations 
who suffer agony while silent God 
does nothing to alleviate our pain. 

Bright ocean waves that play in light of dawn 
care not humans kill each other for fear, 
swirling endless spirals of casual thought 
around our globe that spins in silent void 
while we fight to control Garden of Eden 
where nutritious fruit blooms on Tree of Knowledge. 

Bright ocean waves that laugh with carefree mirth 
care not humans kill each other for joy, 
shimmering clear beneath the mountain range 
where refugees from war walk signless roads 
without their messiah across the waste land 
while the wealthy party in Wonderland. 

Bright ocean waves that cry with bitter misery 
care not humans kill each other for sorrow, 
watching gangs of angry boys lead by kings 
shoot each other for sacred right to live 
happy and safe in walls of paradise 
or trapped behind barbed wire in prison camps. 

Bright ocean waves that dream in twilight zone 
care not humans kill each other for hope, 
sparkling with light of the sun and the moon 
millions of years before humans evolve, 
millions of years while humans fight wars, 
and millions of years after humans die.
