We pretend to forget

But then forget to pretend

And each step closer

Just brings us closer to the end

To our destinies we should go

Like lambs to the lion

But when fortune’s wind begins to blow

Well then we usually stop trying

And although everyone is different

We as a people remain the same

Because if the world crashed down around us

The first thing we would look for is someone to blame

It’s not that humanity is not loving

Just that society is training our species

To believe that power is the only path

And we are so busy pointing fingers

That we have forgotten how to laugh

Ambition should be a virtue

But it has become a holy quest

And for now waiting is all we can do

Until the damage can be assessed

Because religion can’t be trusted

There are too many doctrines to follow

No one is looking for a real path

Just a way to fill the hollow

In the way that everyone is different

God should be different to us all

Multi-dimensional and faceted

More diverse than our imaginations are small
