WRITE ME A SONG
Write me a song that lasts forever
That matches the evil that men do
So I can recall the times of happiness
That take me away from today’s chaos
Write me lyrics that don’t glorify bedlam
But tells me of the journey of life
And the beauty of the cosmos
Also of magnificent discoveries yet to come
There is a story yet to be told
of good things to be discovered and not the ugliness
Man has yet to admit about himself
And accept what he is and must discard
Man is a wonderful creation
One of God’s staunch pillars
If somewhat corroded
But still holding on
On this floating piece of debris
Drifting without aim
Waiting ‘til the day when all will be gone
Nothing to remain
‘Til then write me a song I can sing with gusto
With the courage that says all will be well
This world could sure use some righteous spirit
For you, me and all living creatures
On God's green earth struggling to survive.
