Shape A New Future
Still like water, in the shade of palms
Beneath the arms, of a desert sun
This soul is calm, with the frequencies
Of the cosmos, flowing through me
Blue sky across rough horizon
Endless are these dry oceans
Harsh and arid, yet so alive
Strong and hardy, although I'm dying
Brilliance has but little time to shine
Marks left, though so miniscule
We live and die and all for what?
To dry up like the rainfall does?
Insistance of greatness begets greatness
Down a long hard road of perstistance
No heroes rise without risks
You and I can both make it
A new generation of facebook drones
Glued to illusion and false salvations
Need saving from this tasteless
C-List expectations of what life is and could be
Across the desert seas we search for hope
Hardy and fervent in our cause
To bring about a new soul
To a flailing and faltering society
Built upon tv-screens and media's teachings
As technolgy soars our knowledge sours
Even as knowledge grows our thoughts go
Straight out the window, with our games
Oh, we need saving, salvation from this
Back to the expanse of wonder, not listlessness
I'm missing this sense of awe
We once felt as children
Together, as a generation united
Still, and at peace like the water
At ease with the rhythm of the universe
We shape our new fates
