Discribe the World

Were not men strong and women beautiful Children adorable and old men wise Were not tyrants evil and angels good Dogs faithful and prophets misunderstood Were not the stars named and world divided Hearts claimed as God decided Were not the races proud and thunder loud Hearts broken and the valued stolen Was not the world wicked and entrance, a ticket Hopes shatered and time a barrier Were not words wasted and defeat tasted Dreams untrue and offers with drew Are not ledgends taken in time and hero's made slaves to wine Certian disasters and life no longer mattered Are not moments made and powers magnificently displayed Salvations delayed while the guilty repaid Were not inventions made so fast and made obsolete in recent past Invention oblivion they were newly made but didn't last And did not time travel slow measured by faces that turned old Death decays as the trees of our generation sway Were not we all given a choice to listen to that still small voice Discision made ignorant or proud all that you allowed
