Earth Odyssey

Dreams of blue skies and immaculate waters Fields lush and green for miles to be seen A world befitting our sons and daughters Yet careless pollution has brought a tearful scene Blessed with the intellect and ingenuity to thrive So why the never-ending uphill struggle? Life is for living; instead, we fight to survive Seems there's always another bill to juggle Humanity yearns for a simple utopia Where children can rise and reach their dreams In a land of abundance and cornucopia Free as our rivers and winding streams A world rich in love is all we desire Not the soul-wrenching agony of war Our goal is to flourish; that’s the life we aspire Like a phoenix from the ashes, we will once again soar Upon this realm, entities work their dark art They weave and deceive like an intricate crochet To be human, one requires a penitent heart Yet demons are ravenous and out for prey Finally, we’ve escaped this labyrinth maze Piercing the veil, turning from water to wine Euphoria as we suddenly see through the haze To the glorious realisation, we are divine in design
