Omen Harm

The broken spear that pierced our heart
Shot by the hand we have been feeding

We roamed the lands and chased the sun
Our hands where reaching for the sky
Dark are the hours before the dawn
We stood as one, our heads held high

And with the trust to those close by
Came the angst of the unknown
Isolated, every tribe
Created a myth, not once outgrown

Earless to singing of wild birds,
Numb to the wind that blows through our hair
Blind to the sunlight that feeds all that grows
Silenced by those who set out the snare

This plague is ancient, but what will we do?
It can be stopped by me and by you
Together we change the course that was set
An entire species are joined for one quest

Even the highest citadel walls
Cannot survive, the ravages of time
Seasons of fire, man-made ecocide
Oceans of plastic, where our dignity drowned
Our thoughts strangled, dreams are entangled
There is no layer of varnish, that protect us all
Respect protect, and reconnect
We all live and die, on the same soil

Domesticated by fire,
Led to fear of going out
Walls that once where build to protect
Soon started to cave us in

Cities formed, the land enclosed
Step by step the pests marched in
No common ground, detached us all
Lone we will face - our worlds downfall
