they say we'll come to our end one day they say we just won't matter they say we'll become our own prey with thoughts as mad as a hatter they say we'll run out of water they say we'll run out of food they say we'll kill or be slaughtered they say we'll come to no good they say civility's near an end they say there's no use in tryin' they say our actions only portend civilization's weakness's underlyin' they say we don't know what we're doin' and perhaps it's true, we don't seems like the whole world we're screwin' but maybe the prediction's overblown maybe there's another bend to turn maybe there is another angle maybe 'stead of like before, we'll learn to sort our emotions to better unscramble maybe love can actually conquer fear maybe there's a brighter dawn to come today's weathered is tomorrow's all clear maybe empathy is our new rule-of-thumb © Goode Guy 2011-08-08
