What Future Lies Ahead
Curse the divide our differences cause
Anger and hatred not taking a pause
For original reasons no one can recall
Prejudices inherited by one and by all
The end of the world may not be at hand
But the beginning of the end may be here for man
Wars will accomplish what nature cannot
As lessons once learned now are forgot
Political and religious agendas bury the truth
We take an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth
The paradise we were given we turn into hell
For greed and intolerance our future we sell
Will our grandchildren’s grandchildren walk on this earth
Hand in hand with our enemies in a peaceful rebirth
Or will the decisions that we are making today
From our grandchildren’s grandchildren take earth away
