A Future Without You and Me

Some may argue,
"I don't see evil this day."
Those are the ones for which we must pray.
For the devil has clouded their thoughts of today; 
for this, the devil gives them no say.
He simply strives to lead us astray, 
broken promise of returning one day.
Nay, the past has left like a ship out to sea.
Returning is a future without you and me 
For the ship was of good spirit and heart 
It created tools to encourage our part.
A future given of nothing but play 
promises life will soon end one day.
