What Next?
The constant riddles of passing life
The oceans calm seals the night
Memories of familiar lives
Flow freely throughout the concious light
The freedom beyond the clouds so near
Sheltered lives now full of fear
Reality shocked the mind now clear
The day passing life came so near
The helpless thoughts of life's new chapter
The fear behind each broken laughter
The questions eating each new lecture
What happens next? What's the future?
To win this war, this one for fact,
This one for justice, wealth or wrath
Is to remember love, it's here to last
Give it thought, Don't repeat the past!
