Carpe Diem
On a day back in the March of 2007, the world changed forever.
From the sky came a message to remember. It showed a day when
the Maya played a Great Game. They marked it Eleven to December.
Yes, the message would be rendered. They put a count down
and it was called Number. In the Heavens came a sound of thunder
and they knew, that it would be just right.
Looking up high they checked the sky at night and again in the daylight.
They made plans to carve a stone, leave a message that explains the flight.
Leave a message in the day and the night with temples and steps calculated,
Just Right.
Return they would to this date and time, retuning two through a simple rhyme.
It was meant to be, just this way. A great ruler came to be one Day.
A journey and a life to remember, so the Maya marked a day in November.
The Dead looked down, the children abound so indeed, the good deed was rendered.
A Shield was sent as a dome of protection. Colored and timed to exact perfection.
"The children shall not suffer" and for this, we play to remember.
We’ll mark this day and we'll call it November.
A day for the Dead to see that the children are better.
A great scroll was left tuning lines into letter. Every day and night,
dedicated to the Journey of SOL, dedicated to the innocent who wouldn’t know,
that an evil never was. "Seize the Day". There is only Love....
And so it was written.
A single law spoken.
Just. Is Way.
