A Leap
I find it amazing
That “seers” see less in the bliss of the grace
And every fore telling is the embrace of chaos
That many “seers” see to confirm the pending destruction
And yet we doubt the existence of the “god” of the day.
One source is these sights I say.
I find it intriguing
Seers foretelling admittedly subject to humanity
You tell me the sky will fall, and the earth will melt
Yet by my actions, to these sights, the earth I can pelt
And protect my beloved from the sights of the day
I will be a fool to doubt the existence of the God of my day
Keeping to his word I stand tall, though a thousand shall
fall.
I find myself saying
Let the sky fall, let the earth melt,
Let the stars align, the economy collapse,
And let chaos consume the civil
My Offspring with thrive, Mercy will my cap fill
The living will be birthed in my house, to others thrill
My land will bring forth in its season.
My end will be at the birth of the living
Not the Dawn of simple reasoning.
