Learning To Live Again

With just a little left

With only an inch

   With just a sliver of hope

With a moment of free will 

   With only a spark 

The universe starts 

 It gets hot

  It all starts to expand

It creates all of man

   And the chaotic plan

Goes into motion

   At the whims of the emotions

Of the stars

    Hostages to the sun

Confined to our earth 

   Wandering around

Looking for love


   Oh to be

And

  Oh not to be

Alive and dead for all of eternity 


   The third eye

Takes flight

   And the fears start to fight 

The shadows start to bite

And the darkness is only possible

   Because there is light 

Trying to forget all that we’ve ever known

   Stuck on our dogmatic thrones

Thrown into the universe at birth

   A blessing and curse

With quite reminders that

  It could always get worse

But even when love hurts

  Life still has worth

Every life has worth

   Even when they cause us hurt

That little ant has worth

   That little bee that stung your hand

Has worth

   And that man

That ran that red light

  And crashed head on

With you

   Leaving you behind

Broken and hungry 

   That man 

Still has worth

   And that cloud in the sky

The one that blocks out your sun

   That’s someone's son 

That country that did that thing

   That has the media and politicians going wild

That’s someone's child

   And that preacher 

That committed a sin

   Is still someone

We should try to forgive 

   Yes, 

With just a little left

With only an inch

   With just a sliver of hope

With a brief moment of free will 

   With only a spark 


We learn how to live again.
