Neno's Poem
I like Neno's poem because it has that universal truth element - no matter how much human beings have, something else always looks better.
why is it that we crave what we cannot have
that the grass is greener on the other side of street
we don't appreciate us, and everything is hell
everyday we vow, this is enough - we gonna quit
why do we want the happiness of others
is it just jealousy or a legitimate goal
why do we care for pets more than brothers
pretending we're busy, with no answer when they call
why do we force our children to succeed
to become famous or insanely rich
on the other side of river we see the elite
so we use our children to build us a bridge
why do we compare our troubles to the hell
when most of us live in paradise - and we know it well
why is it that we crave what we cannot have
that the grass is greener on the other side of street
we don't appreciate us, and everything is hell
everyday we vow, this is enough - we gonna quit
why do we want the happiness of others
is it just jealousy or a legitimate goal
why do we care for pets more than brothers
pretending we're busy, with no answer when they call
why do we force our children to succeed
to become famous or insanely rich
on the other side of river we see the elite
so we use our children to build us a bridge
why do we compare our troubles to the hell
when most of us live in paradise - and we know it well
