The Everlasting Now

The world’s spinning, always changing,
In everlasting now.
All things are turning, sun is burning,
As if by solemn, sacred vow.
In times of war the children leave,
The widows cry, and sighs are heaved,
A lover lost, a mem’ry found,
An unknown death without a sound.
“Never again,” the people scream
The highest, farthest, unreached dream.
So lives are lost, the wars are fought,
With chaos, fear, and silence wrought.
Support the troops, look not within,
See not the horrors lying there.
All people die, it was his time.
Small comfort to the ones who grieve.
All people living near and far,
From closest home to farthest star,
The fear of death, it drives us all,
But listen quickly, heed my call.
All lives inside the deepest now
Are worth the same and free.
What ever else is said by man,
It’s all the same to me.
