Dance of Time

The dance of time has called us forth
and placed our feet upon the path.
So we must follow thru joy or ill
to make it to the end.
But in this dance there are for us choices to be made.
To leave this world a happier place or
one more filled with pain.
Now is the time to look upon the world
in which we live with kindness or savagery 
to which will you lead.
The heart hopes more for kindness instead
of power and greed.
So which dance will you follow destruction or peace
For when you finally slumber within this earth of ours.
The dance of time will call to you
again and what will you find
