How About
It has always been told that you have control over everything
The world
Our past
Our present
Our future
Our destiny
That you have chosen a path for us all to follow
Control over the good and the bad
The well and the sick
It has always been believed by many
But yet there is so much wrong with the world today
Yet there are so many questions
It has always been told, about your control
But how about no more dying
How about no more tears
How about an end to war forever
Or a cure for cancer
How about defeating death by AIDS
Or death by starvation
How about no more street gangs
How about a place to live for the homeless, besides under bridges
How about a stop to murder
Or sadness, or fear
How about no more addiction
How about no more guns
How about no more hate
How about no more bigotry amongst humans
Or animals for that matter
How about no more chaos
How about an end to crime
Or what about an end to rape
How about less destruction and more rainbows
How about an end to evil and a rise of glory
Everything is out of control
And yes, I know many say we made ourselves this way
That we did this to ourselves
Yet we were made by you were we not?
It only shows how imperfect you really are
How impatient you really are
It has always been told that you have control over everything
The world
Our past
Our present
Our future
Our destiny
The good and the bad
The well and the sick
It has always been believed by many
But you do not fool me
You have no control
No control over me
No control of my life
Of my past
My present
Or my future
And you have no control over my destiny
I follow my own path, and none other
It has always been told, about your control
But I see none, and I have never before
