A Distance
If I could take a step away
In hopes of seeing
From the outside
Of where I stand
Without the perception
Of a mortal life
Or the blink of this existence
Soar into the heavens
View mother earth from a distance
See ourselves for who we are
Ethereal miracles
Squandering potential
Bloodthirsty savages
I'd lose faith in an instant.
I'd hope for her,
To wash our stain away.
2000 years later
Man's still not changed.
