Coro Nations

A humbling wave has struck humanity
No man of mortal existence is spared 
In a World that seemed broad and vast 
Shrunken suddenly by the smallest being

None has strength to fight the tiny being
Even the big and mightiest has crumbled
Surrendering to prayers as 'authority' fails
The Master runs to the Outcast for grace

Might and fame have become liabilities
Wealth and power are rendered useless
The mighty is as weak as the wretched
Redefining Nature, life and her values

All Holy, sacred, shrines have shut down
Afraid they will promote more dis-ease
When human holy temples get redicled
Nature is obviously making a statement

'Stay Safe' is the cry and prayer allover
Back to the base of your being, go back
True meaning of the deafening sounds 
Reverse, Retreat, Revert, Return to thee

All that can be seen is bound to change
The fleeting existence confused for real
Leading man further away from himself
The Self which is Nature and all in Nature

Know yourself again so you can live
The message coming to all humanity
The smallest organism speaks to man
Hoping that man will hear and learn

When the vicious cycle is interrupted
An opportunity awakens for a review
Allowing he that desires to evaluate
To achieve the essence of existence
