One Love, One World
look down there
far after Venus and the stars
the blue planet
it looks not like itself
it looks beaten and choked
a huge scar on his face
her face looks pale and the
glitter in her eyes have died
its salt has lost its taste
she has grown too proud
thinking of endless intelligence
dangerous discoveries
when did she lose herself
changed her name and become Nameless
lost all of the grace that was hers
I do not know that
but truly she needs to redeem herself
before it is too late and she destroys herself
she must find herself once more
love every part of her
see herself in the glass again
