Door To Decision

by Robson Grant

 We come from a turbulent past
 To an info-age moving way to fast
 The fate of these lands
 Is now placed in our hands
 
Will we bring destruction to an end
 Will we have the power to mend
 Save this fragile dreamland
 Wash away our footprints in the sand
 
Global warming is causing weather changes right before our eyes
 But we still blacken our skies
 Sunrays take less time to burn our faces
 But we still destroy our rain forests and just leave empty spaces
 
The men spill out of the factories everywhere
 Punching their time clocks basically unaware
 Don�t realize what’s happening to the big picture
 The massive devastation of the atmospheric mixture
 
Every day go through their daily motions
 Waiting it out for measly promotions
 Distant stares and silent prayers
 Monday to Friday … say goodbye
 
Our oceans are slicked with oil spills
 Our waterways full of toxic waste that kills
 We build our cities on mountains of pollution
 Without an environmental solution
 
We live our lives in search of wealth
 In the process damage our good health
 Crime stories are found on every newspaper page
 People loosing control in an uncertain age
 
The victims of greed are getting younger
 In a world that still allows their hunger
 Our petty problems make us hang down our heads
 While million’s go unfed
 
Desire unfolds the light of our day
 But we cannot give in to the subtle decay
 We must rise above the haze descending
 Toward mass action mending
 
We must take control of our actions today
 or the children of tomorrow will be the one’s to pay
 The new innkeepers shall soon take charge
of the next generation�s voyage at large
 
Trends are patterned and patterns trended
 But man’s damage must be ended!
