21st Century Words

by Georgia S. KochVicolo

Walking around naked
Walking around blind
Blind to danger
Blind to reason
Reason to wander
Reason to question
Question the people
Question the times
Times are coming
Times are passing
Passing through life
Passing through woods
Woods of triumph
Woods of greatness
Greatness of soul
Greatness of creation
Creation of the Universe
Creation of life
Life to be lived
Life without seasons
Seasons following each other
Seasons marking our passage
Passage through the wilderness
Passage of lovers
Lovers and families
Lovers without ending
Ending in grief
Ending through silence
Silence the thunder
Silence the people
People of freedom
People without reason
Reason with your mind
Reason with your heart
Heart made to be broken
Heart pounds with anxiety
Anxiety of a rage
Anxiety of our era
Era of reason
Era of vanity
Vanity without fairness
Vanity without beauty
Beauty in nature
Beauty in harmony
Harmony in song
Harmony in our existence
Existence in peace
Existence in war
Peace
War
