 The sky aglow with


 

The sky aglow with letters of the universe

Dark in the thoughts of the dying sun

Running amuck with the twins devil

Lighting the children with mischief

 

But with the shining ball of energy hanging in the balance

leaving the hope with the adults of tomorrow

Ruining the depression of today

Can anyone tell that no one knows how to run this world?

 

Some say with the hand of God

Others with hot anger

Showing people peace no longer an answer

 

Leaving with dignity but with more revenge to come

Telling the workers of our lands what to do

Not really knowing who they are

Loving teh chaos around us

Though knowing it brings hate

 

Turning with the axis of this world, always moving

Hopefully forward and not sideways or backwards

Learning from our mistakes

Can anyone tell that no one knows how to run this world?

 

It's ok that no one knows

For what would this world be without the harrowing turns of trouble

And the joyous laughs of success
