Writing | How Do I Save the World?
I yearn for redemption.
In the realm of dark shadows and deep despair,
I search for meaning; woe is the seeker.
The weight of my sins is a burden untold,
I am seeking absolution.
Lost in darkness, like a child out in a storm,
I seek refuge, or a light to show me my path.
The mundane world to a realm lost,
I now see small wonders exist, for the first time.
How do I save a drowning world?
One step at a time, awakening from a long slumber,
Where fear robbed me of one leg to stand upon,
And paralyzed the other, I was trapped and unable to move.
How do I save all those whom I hold dear?
A future of harmony, devoid of suffering.
Clean air to breathe, fresh food to eat?
My faint heart trembles, never still, always strained.
Red like the wine, a sight that bleeds,
Tears roll as the cruel world turns.
Numbness in numbers, bloodshed in scores,
The fire of corruption, evil and wars.
Fear of death, for wealth reigns alone,
While the skies turn to gray, and the blue turns to black.
Each fragment of the land is lost, a piece of our soul,
As a species, mortals, drifting further beyond return.
In this realm, where darkness seems to persist,
A breath of hope, I’ll mumble my wish…
To reclaim what's lost, for the soul of our world,
Or at the least, a good night's sleep.
