Condition

God sees down the years, 

But we don’t. 

Things shift as we make choices 

Decisions in our minds 

Are always fraught with voices. 

Times we’ve fought, then forgotten 

Licking wounds until 

You find you lack the taste. 

We take great Risk and Tragedy 

Displays of Speed and Strength 

We touch the edge of self-destruct. 

We all have it. 

To overcome it is just enough, 

And we must. And we must. 

Love and War exist. 

Our climate change is in the weather, 

Whether or not we fight together 

We come to see. This is forever. 

Forever time, God sees down the years. 

For we cannot, if the future lays with fear. 

We’ve got to trust, we’ve got to trust. 

That things can always get better. 

Mother Nature lives in our bones. 

Until we’re tested, we never know. 

For Our carnal instinct, our primal fear, 

The rage we hold and grieve and fear, 

Such transcendence we seek to find, 

Beauty a reminder of what we left behind. 

Our struggle is to try to live fully 

Before we reach the Other Side. 

The problem is we have an 

Eastern Body with a Western Mind. 

We share a Reality, and… 

Keep doing time with the past. 

The present moment we fear exposes us sheer 

To the love we want for ourselves but lack.
