Time

Time Maybe we can reverse it Maybe there is a way Perhaps unwinding ravages Will save the world from grey Hit pause just for a moment Check where we are right now And tell me that it doesn't cause A deeply furrowed  brow Where is that super human To reverse the fatal spin? Or the bat-shaped cloudy lantern To erase the Joker's grin? Truth is, this isn't funny Truth is, we're in a spot And our hearts are getting colder While the Garden's getting hot The polar bears are floating On the land they used to roam. The animals adapting to Their temperamental home The sky is flashing wildly. The rain. The wind. The snow. Are proclaiming rather loudly They think it's time for us to go The leaders are conferring No-one now denies That the Eden we once tended Is corrupted by the lies And the scientists and dreamers Looking far towards the stars Have they given up on healing Now the open wounds form scars? Can't we save our piece of heaven? Let our navel gazing stop Lifting eyes towards the future here Not some lonely Martian rock I want to be more hopeful I need to feel the love We need the rainbow promise More than ever, from above I want to sing a new song Hear the birds and smell the rain Be the heroes who can navigate This treacherous terrain  So the minstrel turned to prophet Whispered warnings in his rhyme For the very thing to pray for And the thing we need.. is time Jinjagoliath 11th September 2021
