Living in a world amidst the shambles

Focused on the light while everyone scrambles

Every level of breakdown becoming a reality

Where misery is a widespread actuality

Prayers dripping from all their faces

Hands clasped in so many different places

Between the tears they raise their eyes

Unable to fully grasp their demise

Living one tragedy to the next

Even the stirring in the air is feeling vexed

Determined to survive despite the odds

Leaving the auspicious outcome to their gods

Songs of sorrow shifting earth’s rotation

That the next day may come is only an aspiration

Helpless to build a place of fortitude within

Burdened by remorse of previous sins

Living in a world above crumbling foundations

Struggling to deal with global situations

Not knowing the individual responsibility

To look to the future positively

Mankind seemingly lost with no hope

Where for truth and light they constantly grope

If only they could know it is easy to see

There is someone with us constantly

This world this isn’t really living

Keep your eyes on the things unseen

The real life is worth living
