Open Your Eyes

We are just waiting for that time when

Human race comes to an end.

Questioning: How? When? And Why?

How could we let our mistakes pass by?

We satisfied our wants and needs

With the use of technology and machines.

We hope that it will save us “Going Green,”

Maybe pollution will not get too extreme. 

 

No, wake up! We’ve got to change this way of being,

Open up our eyes, stop looking, and start seeing,

That we cannot just let Him down

Because everyone will go down.

Yes, it is true that we have come this far,

But let us not become a disappearing scar.

We cannot depend our lives on a hero

Or sit around and wait for a sign

Would you not prefer to die knowing you tried

Rather than fading into the end of time? 

 

Instead, you keep searching for the end of the rainbow

Hoping all your life to find a light that will untangle

Your inaccuracies from your winnings

To forget your sins and form new beginnings. 

To forget the wrongs that you have done,

So that you are no longer living on the run 

But why do you not open your eyes

To His beautiful creation?

So that we all can open our eyes

For many more generations.
