The pounding, unrelenting
lessons...never ending
pace, now fast ascending
for all, destiny,impending
shame, forever our legacy
greed, the forbidden choice
when all we were to do was care
with one great voice!
to love, to shepard all of mother earth
a birthright so simple
it's all in the eyes of the child
humans, animals, important principles
"what now ?",the question lingers...
look around ! action is compelling
the race is fast upon us!
what ending awaits the telling?
