Hands of Time
6/2/21
Seeing many sides of the spectrum
While maintaining momentum
Close and far from species with venom
Hard to always find peace among constant bedlam
It began, continued on or ended
The outcome was splendid
Or not what was intended
Leaving so many offended
All ties cut and shredded
Sad how fast they wanted to see them beheaded
At their own or others expenses
It all truly comes with consequences
Some will and others won't come to their senses
While going in and out of the trenches
The final consensus
Was respected or it turned out horrendous
No stopping the hands of time
Or going back in time
Since the sands of time
Got to get after it, or you'll be the last in line
Won't ever do great if you just stand aside
People often being asinine
So very far from expected, or of a grand design
Is it one big lie or the great truth
Better cough up when pay is due
Let me update you
And raise the roof
Stay true
You'll make a breakthrough
Realize nobody else will save you
But they just may betray you
It never happened or it came true
Too many continue to debate and hate to
Work toward any common ground, they can't ever relate to
Anything that is not the same as you
