When the Dust Settles

The tears fall freely,
caught up in lifes' grip.
The blood-kin drama,
from whose cup we sip.

The free-love sixties,
fell to dis-favor.
With love abanded,
and gold as savior.

The great destruction,
like a lightning burst.
If technology,
proves to be our curse.

For mans' survival,
will find a return.
To the natural,
and moral discern.

Finding the shining,
of simple virtue.
Avoiding the things,
so good they hurt you.

The great revival,
of a mans falling.
With open arms,
the end is calling!
