Did you

The 6 billionth soul born into the heart of this week’s war
The bodies pilled and scattered all are truly lost to the All forevermore
It’s the six-o’clock news all over again it’s the same as before
We’ve become immune to the images of all the bodies n gore

All around the world tribal and racial hatred causing woes
There’s a storm coming screaming a dark dirty ball of snow
When there’s no place to run puny human where will you go
All around you everywhere only you and God you know

Just look behind the eyes in the mirror to the holes in your mind
Just who are you why are you here how did you spend your time
What did you make what did you earn what did you once call mine
Did you kill did you love did you see understand n follow the signs

We are given the ability and responsibility for stewardship of the Earth
We must revere all life struggling for happiness moments after its birth
Tolerance in a forgiving heart is the foundation of a soul’s worth
The balance between passion and wisdom is every heart’s search

Each heartbeat and breath a wonder of the Universe
How can we tolerate acting on thoughts of the perverse
Are we just earthling actors fulfilling the ancient curse
Human against human we see bring on the hearse

Just look behind the eyes in the mirror to the holes in your mind
Just who are you why are you here how did you spend your time
What did you make what did you earn what did you once call mine
Did you kill did you love did you see understand n follow the signs

We haven’t become our brother’s keepers but his murderers
From Cain and Able are we following the same ancient curse
And the Earth kills its humans with impunity just as perverse
Another Army goes into battle no more time to rehearse

Innocent souls blasted back into the All of Creation
Done with impunity and not a moment’s hesitation
And it’s playing in the air coming from all the stations
Children who can kill children the new fruit of our nation

Just look behind the eyes in the mirror to the holes in your mind
Just who are you why are you here how did you spend your time
What did you make what did you earn what did you once call mine
Did you kill did you love did you see understand n follow the signs

When you can love you live when you hate you die
A lesson we have yet to learn living in our lies
Have you done all you could did you really try
Can the human spirit change Armageddon’s story line

Could we have lived in peace under n over Earth’s sky of blue
I know we can if we will only make reality be really true
Another cycle becomes complete the circle begins anew
At the center of your Universe is Creation and only you

Just look behind the eyes in the mirror to the holes in your mind
Just who are you why are you here how did you spend your time
What did you make what did you earn what did you once call mine
Did you kill did you love did you see understand and follow the signs
