Just For the Record
A record of how it is
May suggest how it will be
A record of how it was
Shape how you’ll perceive
In this world of information
In this recorded time of day
You can review the situation
And receive a little say
I’d rather not know how it would end
Even if history repeats itself once more
I’d rather create something new
Then bow to its rule
Don’t close your mind to its thoughts
Nor your soul to its dreams
For it creates what you have meant
And that’s been all to you and me
