Will you?

Ever had moment that changes your perspective
More than a dream, a change in directive
Ive been thinking about the world so long
How things were a mess and going all wrong

About how life and people…would never change
it Seems so certain…and yet so strange
our lives can be both weapons and instruments of peace
capable of great good and a violence that will never cease.

but among the two we choose the latter
to prove our point in this world of matter
our humanity as it is, was forged in blood
the lines that divide us, those drawn in mud

the reason we cant revert to what made us good
are the same reasons, we all think we should
we don’t always do, whatever we say
maybe its just too hard…but in either way

its just a matter of time till world stumbles
till life as we know it begins to crumble
and there’s nothing we can do but wait and hope
that we would survive, that we would learn to cope.

They say that we evolve when were at the brink
when were at the end and there’s no time to think
I think that time is close a hand
When we all finally learn to understand

when we see we can be more than ourselves
way beyond that of heaven and hell
a leap in consciousness is what I mean
something more than we’ve ever been

this change will come....but at a price
and it wont be pleasant, no.. it wont be nice
for the night is darkest before the dawn
and a storms its worst before its gone.

The time is coming and I bid thee well
And I hope you see past this morbid tell
I hope you learn to look for more
And venture beyond all known shores…

For I might not be here when the world turns a new
But then again…will you?….
