Too many times sadly
too seldom gladly
I must learn to trust
Earth's future more

impels healing trauma's lessons,
surviving hale and...

What I have for you today is not so much about re-treading an outdated fuel-based system--
little bit like reshuffling the chairs to fix the decay

HEROES

Near somber guards, units of children heap 
dead leaves, naive to any else fallen.
Friend, you chuckle, but your posture speaks
of duty on this day of contradictions.

It is not personal, he is not the Son.
