Our world is well and truly ******.
Those who question are labelled as stuck.

Stuck in the prison of their mind,
But aren’t we all stuck? In the prison of mankind?

The differences between us leads to separation,
In essence we are the same, and that should give unification.

Still we fight, defend, attack.
Where is the contemplation, awareness, ability to step back?

The ability to look at ourselves and society,
Notice shortcomings and move forward with propriety.

Our black and white thinking causes us to act unfairly,
All matters are grey - and that can be scary.

The unknown abyss of what is to come,
Is enough to make anyone whimper and run.

Intimidating for you, me, for all on earth.
So let’s face these fears together, and allow a prosperous rebirth.

Like a pheonix from the ashes, we too can rise.
Free ourselves from what we’ve came to accept, a prison, in disguise.
