Wake Up and See
I want to wake you
Wake you up and let you see the world.
Can you not see the tulips screaming triumphantly in their array
Or see the clouds dancing an endless waltz.
Touch the breeze and feel the climate of the times
The air is rich in expectation and warm with hope
You simply won't believe me if I tell you.
Would you assume a dream?
Taste and see that the air is intensely sweet
Do your seneses betray you
Do you believe me now?
I wanted to wake you up
So you would see what I believe
See what the world is
But Fear encircled you so the vision was of blur
Hate accompanied you so the odour was unbearable
Pride persuaded you so doubt had its fill
Oh! If you saw what i still see
Why do you not see
Why not the belief
