PROLOGUE: The way you get meaning into your life is to devote yourself to loving others, devote yourself to your community around you, and devote yourself to creating something that gives you purpose and meaning. - Mitch Album
May I tell a story of how
The Devil shall die
May I talk of Pharaoh
How he bade earth goodbye
May I talk of angels, their defining grace,
Or of humans, God's judgement we shall face,
May I talk of the dreadful deeds of every race
Their ways, when these chameleon into a heaven's case
Again shall I talk of the death of the world
And the rust of time, life and the gods
Shall the hidden truths not grace the mammoth light?
Times these all beings are gone like the night?
Tell human conscience, it daily cowers,
Under the rain of lies, it seamlessly showers,
Teach the truth of the need to be blunt
Warn hypocrites against their cunning stunts,
Inform asset, it is of dusts,
Nay! Ask humans why they daily lust,
It's our purpose to point our flaws,
Condemn power against our own law(s)
Before heavens fall and the trumpet roars
It's our job to make justice soar
It's our dawn to please our God!
It's our turn to free our world!
EPILOGUE: What matters in the end of time is not the mere fact that we have lived. It is the difference we have made to the lives of others that determines the significance of the life we led. ~ Nelson Mandela
