Earth Odyssey

We dream of blue skies and glacial clear waters Fields lush and green for miles to be seen A world befitting our sons and daughters Sadly, it has been ravaged, pillaged and made carelessly unclean The people yearn for a simple utopia All the abundance and prosperity of cornucopia But our leaders possess a cunning myopia The anguish of residing in this nightmarish dystopia Blessed with the intellect and ingenuity to thrive So why the never ending uphill struggle? Life is for living but instead we fight to survive Seems there's always another bill to juggle Love and joy are all the people desire Not the soul wrenching agony of war Our dream is to flourish, that’s the life we aspire Like a phoenix from the ashes, humanity 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 These creatures are ravenous and out for prey We scream “let us out” of this torturous maze Breaking free won't be easy, it's so labyrinthine Upon death, we'll pierce the veil, turning from water to wine Only then the realisation, we're divine in design
