Sit with me,
on the beach that harbors the ocean of our success.
Listen,
hear how the waves quiet themselves
sacrificing all they are to take in their own
beauty.
Feel now,
how all our surroundings come to a stand still
bending to the will of our
brilliance.
We have done this together,
we took control of the sky,
and stopped the clouds of their cry,
and moved them away just to check
if the sun was still there.
It was, it is,
but if we were hit by the fact that it was gone
we would not concede,
we would mold what we have
into what we need.
We will not bend under the pressure they put on us,
we will use it to refine ourselves into
the diamonds we always were.

I've decided not to live,
To simply just exist.
To take the outcast flow,
Ignore the open road.
I won't change or grow,
For as long as I know,
That I've decided not to live,
To simply just exist.

"We're all footprints in the sand
And the tide is coming in"

My heart strings are played like an un-stung guitar

I used to draw cages.
Cages so infinately empty.
Cages that could never be filled.
Because they were only
drawings.

We all walk beneath the same sun. and when the day is done we all sleep beneath the same moon. It's as if we're all strangers sharing the same room, and we can't ever decide who gets the top bunk so we fight about it. Food, water, washrooms, brooms sweeping our continental drifts of hate towards each other, solitaire mothers raising children alone, families in the streets with nowhere to go, we are lost. But oddly enough we all want the same thing. We all bring the same argument to the table, we just want to be found. But we all shout out opinions just loud enough so that we're misunderstood. Just as our planet thought we would. Because it's been around long enough to know how predictable we are. So I went just far enough out of earshot of the others and asked a question to quench the thirst of my curiosity; what comes next? and I received an answer a little out of context; what came first? The human or the greed?
