what’s the good of writing/if nobody hears it
or the power in song/if it’s only in your head
why sacrifice to live a good life/if it never
sees the light of day/the sun is a stage
the earth is a proving ground/so show heaven
the the dust created a worthwhile being/stars
magnified thought and blessed it/with breath
and bone, blood and a capacity for healing/no
man can take away soul/no engine or weapon
can devolve the beauty/gory machines
devalue the mind/humans, more or less
robots today/thrive in soulless banality
the bloodshed and waste/break flesh, taste
the corruption within each of us/do we choose
to rise above the Shatan/this light inside
is not ours to hold but to share/to have
the cosmic beauty instilled is a task/shared
by a collective of good/and delivered
even to the sword
