Universality

Pride in humanity, is pride in our superficiality
We stand for unity, but lack solidarity 
Represent flexibility, but don’t understand diversity
This new era awaits our complete universality

There is a time for everything
Now we have time for nothing
Not for each other, not for anything
To cultivate meaning, to stand for something

When our hands fail to deliver
The spirits must sail our hearts for a believer
Where our perseverance awakens our souls 
To find the faith when darkness falls

A new turn, a new challenge ahead
Twists and tests our young minds
Leaving all doubt of a hell behind
Faith see us through these phobic blinds

I shared the last drop of water
I shed my heart for a stranger to enter
For to remain as I am, is to lock myself in a shell
It’s to find freedom where demons dwell
