Anything built up will all fall quite down
whether concrete or wood or steel which is sound
whether falling and failing and tumbling down
or intentionally brought down to the ground
to be soon replaced with something quite new
New Buildings New Churches New things to see and do
and not only to our buildings do these rules apply
but also our bodies, we live, olden, die
the very construction code of human beings
involves self destruction right there where it brings
bring forth fresh new life direct from the grown
then few short years later those who brought them fell down
this is the way now and how it's always been
we can know nothing different and accept these things
But now I must tell you it may not be this way
not everything here is subject to decay
Three things may survive beyond all despair
Human Minds Human Souls Human dreams
Make It Clear
The soul of a body cannot be destroyed
and lives beyond all things, in Heaven restored
The mind of a human can live on no doubt
as long as young humans remember by rote
And Dreams let me say those ethereal things
cannot be deferred by any manly thing
These things will survive as long as man does
to interfere between man and these is dangerous
For like a Bear mother defending her cub
a man and his soul mind and dream are kept close
So no, no you people Do NOT Despair
Hold on to your mind soul and dreams like a bear
These things that you have can see you safely through
all the fears and dangers that life puts you through
Treat people with Love first ask questions later
