TICK.TICK..TICK...TICK….time is ticking ,
TICK.TICK..TICK...TICK….life is ticking ,
Life' eternal clock is ticking away .
The agony of our forefathers rising high like the sun ,
while the tears of the innocent,
cry out for vengeance ,
The tears of the widows are crying for love.
Listen,our fathers are talking about yesterday ,
How they lived their lives, but we have today.
To Honour the souls of our fallen brothers ,
The youthful,talking about the future.
,Living with high hopes to see the light before the END consumes us.
Remember sundown and the giving away to night.
Remember your birth,
how your mother struggled to give you form and breath.
You are evidence of her life, and her mother’s, and hers.
Remember your father.
He is your life, also.
Remember the earth whose skin you are:
red earth, black earth, yellow earth, white earth
brown earth, we are earth.
Remember the plants, trees, animal life who all have
their
tribes, their families, their histories, too.

YOU'RE THE EARTH ,YOU'RE THE WORLD.
time to live , and time to die
