What You Carry In Your Hands

What you carry in your hands;
it is what you give to the world

If it’s termites you carry in hands
it is what you release to the world
and it will bite and bite everyone
and the world will weep and weep

It is a dove you carry in your hands
it is what you release to the world
and it will sing and sing in hearts
and the world will rejoice and rejoice

It is zero you carry in your hands
it is what you release to the world
and it will empty people’s dreams
and the world will be full of nothing
