How About

It has always been told that you have control over everything The world Our past Our present Our future Our destiny That you have chosen a path for us all to follow Control over the good and the bad The well and the sick It has always been believed by many But yet there is so much wrong with the world today Yet there are so many questions It has always been told, about your control But how about no more dying How about no more tears How about an end to war forever Or a cure for cancer How about defeating death by AIDS Or death by starvation How about no more street gangs How about a place to live for the homeless, besides under bridges How about a stop to murder Or sadness, or fear How about no more addiction How about no more guns How about no more hate How about no more bigotry amongst humans Or animals for that matter How about no more chaos How about an end to crime Or what about an end to rape How about less destruction and more rainbows How about an end to evil and a rise of glory Everything is out of control And yes, I know many say we made ourselves this way That we did this to ourselves Yet we were made by you were we not? It only shows how imperfect you really are How impatient you really are It has always been told that you have control over everything The world Our past Our present Our future Our destiny The good and the bad The well and the sick It has always been believed by many But you do not fool me You have no control No control over me No control of my life Of my past My present Or my future And you have no control over my destiny I follow my own path, and none other It has always been told, about your control But I see none, and I have never before Written November 11, 2009
