Eyes From Above
I hear the cries of all the babies & feel
the pain of a nation torn
Some can't see the struggle of all the
people but will feel the chaos born
They've sworn to uphold rights but
turn eyes to what is wrong
Karma is a dog with a hungry mouth
& it won't starve for very long
The jaws of the beast applies pressure
& some succumb to flagrant bites
Remember that pressure creates diamonds
but you must endure to shine your light
The struggle is as real as the push & pull
so stay centered to maintain the balance
It's a struggle to stay centered in a dual
reality but you must accept the challenge
Drink from a chalice that brings life not
from a cup you know is dry
Fill yourself will waters from the divine
& pour with intent to reach the sky
The end is nigh but so are beginnings
that will change a lot of views
The most high has seen it all peering
through eyes possessed by all of you
