Nature's Pun

The white line races past

My eyes steady and try to cast

Everything blurs and ties

Even the horizon can fool the wise

 

we were the ones pushed and shun

Architects pieces crumbled and done

This can only be nature’s pun

 

dream of screams and cry for lies

Who’s destined to fall and die

Who’s pulled and dragged for the climb

 

Only darkness from the sun

All our hearts weigh a ton

Changing the world

after the initial twirl

 

All our sources are drained

If everybody is blamed

How can we redeem and claim?

 

When our traces are sought

and when everything is lost

We stayed and what was the cost?

 

Through mistrust, and our father’s guns

all that is left is the fabricated sun
