The Mage Whispers
The Mage Whispers
Do you see past your reality tunnels
Your every day to day
Safe plays
As your Geiger Counters
Ticks left to right
As it slowly sways
Do you see the struggles
Of life's many broken runners
In dire trouble
At home or worldwide
Do you see the villains with the dirty bruised knuckles
On television preaching or in real time
Standing in someone else's home
Their back garden
Their jungle
As the world just watches
Engaging in endless bellicose discussions
Will you only take note
When one of the world's elected great hunters
Pushes the red nuclear button
So I summon the power of the Four Elemental Gods
Earth, Air, Fire, and Water
To wake you up
Before that Old Fallen Power
Grows so much stronger
That hope will no longer matter, as it will shatter
Stopping one climbing Jacob's Ladder
The bridge one seeks at birth
Between Heaven and Earth
So be it
What will be
Will be
