Breaking Barriers

If we could breach this gap, Abolish chains separating us from the right track, If we could read this untapped map, Unlock the enigma from butterfly to cocoon sack, Age would be a meaningless facade, Along with race it'd have no face, In this place it'd be an impact-less wad, Unguarded stars under God amidst space, Forever changed generation to regeneration, If we could uncover what was lost, From the point of influentially susceptible penetration, Before condensation to storm until frost, To bring back colorless consideration, And no concern for money and priceless possessions, Lace that into daily adulthood preparation, Then adults could answer children's burning questions, Grown folks could produce unbiased successors in succession, Then we could have peace and harmony, And from their mistakes we'd teach unprejudiced correction, Far from you and me without the armory, Full of guns they could settle cultural quarrels, They'd do that day what we won't tomorrow, Because they'd have better morals and their laurels, Free of sorrows and anger to borrow.
