We’re caught looking up
At the proud eternal sky
How unevenly it’s hazed
How the clouds just pass us by
Never knew there was such depth
In fleece
Atop a world they lie
With peace
They may change but they’ll never die
They cover the sun
And reveal it again
To light up the day
Never knowing quite when
They exist to change and change to live
Hurray!!
Forever they will play
Proudly above our green blue gem
Above the beauty which we walk upon
With every step we boldly take
This beauty fact
Not at all opinion
With all things viewed
In their own dominion
And all true beauty judged
By how much it’s worldly lacked
While your own judgment remains intact
For if beauty is rare
And rare is beautiful
There’s one half pair
Who needs you dutiful
For seldom greater cause is there
Than a one in a billion green-blue gem
A world we give our loving care
And leave tings as we found them
It’s not my job
Nor mine
I know
But all of ours
Friend or foe
If we waste
And waste and waste this gem
When we’re done
We’re done
With no place left to go
Are we unaware of this crime
Just as so many parts of ourselves
Yes our minds keep secrets
From even us
But listen close before you raise a fuss
Because that’s the way it’s always been
With some things better left within
Like some mysteries left to win
Over the fools trapped in the chase
With curiosities they can’t erase
Still…
We can never know it all
So kiss that thought goodbye
But I don’t think that’s the point
No matter how hard some try
Because if we should
We would
And if not bet there’s a reason why
“Do you think there will ever be a perfect world?”
So…
Can I tell everyone to love
This gem?
Of all the dreams dreamt of
Again
Within us the power to love and hate
Make life long friend or deadly foe
And easy to relax and take
The first new concept
Your old thoughts break
And hard to truly judge
What kind of future will make
A decision quickly pounced upon
Out of aggression fear or hate
If what’s brought forth
As new
Goes unquestioned
Unchallenged
Unjudged by a neutral you
As will that uncontrolled trait
If in the wrong mind-state
You take the bait
You find
All else out there you’ll never know
You saw the preview but missed the show
Is there hope
Yeah
A one in a billion chance
When each person will realize
At once that it starts with them
And a one in a billion never-ending dance
Is born
Right here on this green-blue gem
You’re not asked to be all-knowing
You’re not asked to be wiser than all
But no doubt be fully aware
Of something we will call
An eternal ordered pair
Our wisdom and our ignorance
Both balanced on a ball
Two worlds which our minds share
Two worlds in every one of us
Surprising? – don’t despair
All wisdom can’t exist itself
Views different every one
And pure ignorance persist?
You’re not
A hot rock in the sun
But riding a scale from side to side
Doubt you’ll ever be done
Could that be what makes it so fun?
But always remember to second guess
Worse than a hot rock
A much bigger mess
You think you know
But you’ve got the wrong one
Find this happen and surely you’ll run
As we run
Do you follow?
This path we trace
Now leading to a magic place
At our very day and time
For it goes untouched by people
As if it were a crime
To trample here
And stomple there
Not cops but flowers
Enforce it clear
With one drop love and one drop tear
And it works on all who care to care
All those we can’t condemn
With whom we have to share
This miraculous green-blue gem
Not another in our site
This hidden garden’s secrecy
Its might
And life, and peace, and love
Its power
In every leaf and every flower
And balance
Its true lone earthly savior
Between each and its surroundings
Going about their own behavior
Each one as he conceives
And no one pays the price
For what someone else believes
Instead their ideas will blend and fade
Each one’s are still their own
If they could speak
I’m sure they’d say
In of course an earthly tone
Sure you’re free
To think like me
Or any other known
But forced to think like someone else
Never should you condone
Wonder how to stop this crime
Search no further than your own
free thought
it’s our gem, leave it alone
