Where Ego's Soar |

Where Ego’s Soar Ego’s soar o’er the glories of war But child killing child, I cannot endure. Sung to then a lullaby song Waving a banner of right and of wrong. Need is the weed and need is the creed But child killing child, cannot be the deed. If we’re to live this species of awe Then we must enforce a banner of law. The earth will stay though change as it may And the sun will play on all but our stay Foster new birth to welcome as friend And humanity will come to an end. But this prophecy may not come true. It all depends on our children and you. So teach and preach this gospel to each For each is an Island, each is a beach. Each is a statement, genesis goal And each is a part of one large soul. |

Thank you, thank you, seymour! Was just discussing this very issue last night, and you not only said what I was trying to say much more eloquently, but also perfectly poetically! |
