on the way to next world

0 posted 2004-04-09 11:02 AM



A signal from above, a brief renewal
baby girl has me enter into perusal
spring buds open with national upheavals
sap flows detract from necessary evils
Time sees passages to uncharted worlds
flags planted in soils are then unfurled.

In hospitals around, a cry breaks the night
a infant sister comes into daylight;
spring is in the air, a life is born
from a womb a new tale is torn...

From the life that leaves, another replaces
from corporal exits, there enters new faces
is this a somber view of lives that breathe
what can I learn when buds yield to leaves?

Cause I see the march of time, how it passes
see repetitions emerge from sadistic masses;
as each insists their cause is right
a birth is quashed, laid out of sight..

And into this world a child is born
from a womb its cord is torn,
baby girl, whose mother is pleased
will witness changes on the seven seas...
