Analysis of What People Think



I wonder what people think
What is truly in their thoughts
Do they worry of today
And regard tomorrow not?
Do they plan their life
To set and achieve goals?
Or do they just carry on
Not knowing where they’ll go?
Oh this world saddens me
With the wickedness there in
So much sorrow; so much pain;
So much grief and sin
