And how long will our world last
Memories are short

I walk around in reverence,
just another agnostic
searching for truth,
an open door leading to the light
in a space devoid of people.

Once a little boy
Many unanswered questions
And he questions still

It’s all up for grabs
Let’s think the unthinkable
Question our beliefs?

We have lost so much
Thrown out goodness and the light
Now chaos pervades
Yet light and peace will return:
Acknowledge the creator
