Maybe Not -By John Carter

Helplessly watching a new mother's tears
While daddy is gone, buying everyone beers
Responsible parents are not to be found
Ozzie and Harriet just aren't around

And children are doomed to live with regret
When they find that their lives can't just be 'reset'
Reality isn't as hard as it seems
But you're happier living your life in your dreams

When the money is spent and the wars are all waged,
We've gained nothing, lost nothing, but certainly aged
So maybe we're pointless, no time for impact
But in the meantime, let's try to keep life intact

The killing, destruction, the worst in mankind
Maybe it's all a future civilization will find
In the burned-out hole in space
Where the Earth once spun in place

But then again, maybe not.
