Today

In the world of today everything’s painted grey
Our past had been behind us, oh but no not today
Do this, do that, it’s what they say
Right up front the past lives painfully displayed
It has begun, the segregation of you and me
We are pulled apart by those who deem
Our separation, we’re pulled apart like thread from the strings
Their whispers on air, our pasts declared
A denial to our future, what fruit does this bare

Our future is dark, stocked full of hate
Sorrow and Regret, the only things we ever create
In the world of today, is it joy that’s been made
Happiness for the destruction, the annihilations we’ve displayed
The pain you’ve created, the destroyer of all
To hate, to fear which one belongs
Your past is not the only to whom matter
Your interpretation of lives past, brought down, shattered
lives destroyed in just a day
When someone says “The Past Must Pay”
It’s brought before us tattered, dismayed
The past is behind us that’s where it should stay
Our future could be bright, but everyone beware
Love and sensitivity, our evidence, our burden to bear-
