The Forces At Play
I beseech you flowers of the meadow
Release the land to me
For I am change
Let the green fade out from these planes
So that I may build a house
With bricks of grey
So I may dig the foundation
on the ground you sprout from
I have come to get rid of you
I am the future
I am progress
Red Columbine that rises knee high
I am eternal towers
The sky I dance with, the clouds I kiss
You will only wilt and wither away
While my rods hold me firm
Forged with flame,
sands mixed within me
Handcrafted by man, I am the pinnacle of creation
Release the land to me
For I am change
I beseech you towers of the once meadow
Return the land to me
For I am hope
I am what humanity has lost, for so long
Fresh fields once filled their scope
Now smoke is all there is
See to it you leave this place
So green may fill the scape once again
I have to get rid of you
For I am color
I am celebration
The pinnacle of creation? Oh please
I am living
And I die with purpose, like all things should
Do not mistake fragility for impermanence
For I am moments of joy
Reborn to keep giving
Reborn to keep receiving
The hands that forged me are unknown to this world
Return the land to me
For I am hope
