This world seems headed for destruction by man’s own hand. I have one simple request…
Let Me Leave as I Slumber
When it’s time for me
To leave this world,
Let me leave
As I slumber.
Let me drift into
My afterlife
Peacefully
And unencumbered.
Don’t make your fight
For what is right
A part of my endeaver.
It’s time for you
To realize
We are all in this
Together.
Take a look
At what has emerged
From the fear you’ve held
Inside,
The destruction wrought
In the name of love
Just to serve your
Foolish pride.
Until we learn
To accept and share,
Humble ourselves
Show we care,
Recognize our world
As belonging to all;
We are doomed for extinction
Divided we will fall.
I’m not afraid of dying;
I just don’t want to be
Forced to leave
By the hands of men
So consumed by hate
and un-satiated greed.
When it’s time for me
To leave this world
Let me leave
As I slumber.
Let me drift into
My afterlife
Peacefully and
Unencumbered.
