Just Tomorrow
Weighty moments have tipped the scales Justice has been blinded once more I fear the time when She fails Leaving the forgotten without a score Alas, the fiend Opinion leaps from left to right Keeping your mind spun in confusion Pretending to support Justice's sight While knowing it is truly abetting delusion Time has passed all concerns with Justice's plight Clock a tick-tocking with no end in sight But now it moves to the center untrue There is now much too much balance in view Bells toll out as sirens and angels battle High in the skies bringing no help to us We are here, down below we struggle and rattle Hoping that again on Earth they will focus Nature laughs cruelly and pulls another stone Numbers of people and lives are once again unknown How can we hope to stop this unrest? When all the old leaders have now confessed They know no more than we the people Not even guided by scripture or steeple | Who could ever imagine this day would come When all they could do was admit their defeat After all the harm they have caused for some Now they say their missions are incomplete? They still have more hurt waiting to file through For damage and hatred they shall go the distance But what of the tragic ones, me and you? Struggling to keep up the positive resistance Is there not some message we can pull from the air To express the need for us all to truly care For every single one and other The whole of humanity like sister and brother Justice someday soon must make a choice Blind faith in the system is now failing For if her blindness prevents her voice Than the discouraged will never stop their flailing The poor and the endlessly hungry They are no worse off than those we reject All need the chance to be free Each human being deserves that respect So take up what it is that you hold with pride Stand up for what is right we wield too much now to hide |
