Have You Mourned today?

Have You Mourned Today?

A speck of dust,
A chip of rust.
A piece of granite,
This thing we call a planet.

Wizzing world
Through time being hurled.
Earth's terminally torn.
Her people lost and worn.

Hardened Generation.
Refusing penetration.
Clowns turning tricks.
Anything for kicks.

Rampant crimes.
Runaway times.
In your own backyard.
Are you getting hard?

Say these are lies.
Close your eyes.
Pretend it's not true.
Seems all you can do.

People People Are you free?
Is this really how you hoped to be?
Have you left any real hope?
Or have you just learned to cope?

Or if you knew where to find,
All your peace of mind.
Would you really go there instead?
And have your heart raised from the dead.
