What is this, more blood and gore?

Another senseless war?

More dying dirt poor

I’ve seen it all, and I wish I could see less

Of humanities senseless mess

Since the beginning of time

Being different has been a crime

And I’ve seen it all

Many empires rise and fall

I’ve watched since the time dawned

Before even first life had spawned

I’ve been here and weeped

But cannot make a peep

As you see I must stand and witness

I’ve seen many acts villainous and witless

As I am the eyes that watch time

I’ve stood as silent as a mime

I’ve stood here alone

And to you I’m unknown

Some may call me god

But I’m just part of the universal sod

As it’s time that truly controls us

As it does what it must

I’ve witnessed from prehistoric Africa

To modern Jamaica

I’ve seen it all

Empires rise, and empires fall
