386 We Are Called Man

And the moon lights fire through the sky Yet the Earth burns only with desire Freedom is the rage within the heart Though freedom is the sacrifice we graze upon The intentional delusion to define The purpose for which we live. ~ And the sun blinds our eyes with fear As we wilt under the cushion of oppression Watching as the wind blows freely, Gently swaying the branches we see While wisdom is held tightly In the grasps of a stronger thumb. ~ And the tears flow forth into a river of blood Man has become the enemy of all things free As the tears of the beasts are spilled for space Who are we to take ownership of life? While watching the fallen tree Bleed hopeless into despair. ~ And the cities wait anxious towards tomorrow When life will have become a memory Or an artifact of what used to be The clouds come to darken what is already blinded And the thunder sounds to shame our being As the Earth opens to swallow what we have become Who are we to take ownership of life? Who are we to rule over a free world? We are called Man. ~ By: Darren J McMurray August 14, 2011
