Time has come to make a change…
We’ve lived carelessly,
Misguided and unaccountable lives
Nature has called war upon us
Now we may pay painfully
Natural disasters strike with a wicked vengeance
Tornadoes crippling whole communities
And floods and fires, sweeping away,
Even the grandest of homes
Amidst the cold, black wake of day
Poverty rises like the tides of Hurricanes
Employment descends at an astronomical rate
Among neighbors, lies disunity
And people turn on each other
With a profound hate
Banks seize and usurp property
Taxes squandered and health-care
Takes a turn for the worse
Treachery is afoot, be warned, beware
Boundaries parted and left broken
Blows run wild
Tearing flesh from flesh
And words strike cords
From human lips, reviled
The earth lies laboring, on its deathbed
And we lay blame
Overusing and exhausting
Greed, our true claim to fame
Our very existence
Slumbers precariously, in limbo
While we’ve foolishly
Thrown caution to the wind!
Extinction is near
Mankind lingers, grudgingly,
Between wars
God help us all
The end, we fear, may already be here
We seek a spiritual guidance
For redemption
Within our own hearts
Only then, shall we claim victory
And salvation
Togetherness, defines unity, peace
A new found sense of life
Forgiveness
And the end of world strife
We bear the burden
And therefore,
We shall travel the distance
And consummate a new and better earth
