Oh, What A World

Oh, what a world…
What kind of world do we live in?
One so full of abhorrence and voracity,
how did it become this way?
Why did it become this way?
The answer lies within us,
so deeply obscured from us.
Mendacity imprisoning it, forever, encasing it in black ice,
blinding you!

A silent wish upon your parted lips,
a cry inside your head, telling yourself the worst is behind.
All the hatred and injustice is just a ploy
can you see the mask?
A facade so well placed, so carefully crafted, so dangerously close to being set and stone.
Pull yourself together now; grab your blade and march to the solemn tune.
Stand up! Believe in what a world should be, not what it has become.
Clash against the abhorrence, the trepidation, the deceit; what pushes us away from each other,
come together!
Oh, what a world…

Oh, what a world.
A world so ugly…
But still, you can find beauty underneath the mask of ugliness;
all you have to do is sit and look.
Close your eyes and open your psyche, your heart, and your essence to the world.
Let it enfold you in its warmth, its tenderness, its love.
Let it show you all the hurt that we have caused.

Oh what a world,
so vibrant, so beautiful.
Unpredictable, untamed; so free,
let’s bring out the real world.
What do you see around you?
A blade of grass, a cloudless sky, the wind whispering through the trees; telling us all what could be—what should be.

Oh, what a world.
Just open your true eyes and see.

Oh, what a world.
