Earth Odyssey

Dreams of blue skies and immaculate waters
Fields lush and green for miles to be seen
A world befitting our sons and daughters
Yet careless pollution has brought a tearful scene

Blessed with the intellect and ingenuity to thrive
So why the never-ending uphill struggle?
Life is for living; instead, we fight to survive
Seems there's always another bill to juggle

Humanity yearns for a simple utopia
Where children can rise and reach their dreams
In a land of abundance and cornucopia
Free as our rivers and winding streams

A world rich in love is all we desire
Not the soul-wrenching agony of war
Our goal is to flourish; that’s the life we aspire
Like a phoenix from the ashes, we will once again soar

Upon this realm, entities work their dark art
They weave and deceive like an intricate crochet
To be human, one requires a penitent heart
Yet demons are ravenous and out for prey

Finally, we’ve escaped this labyrinth maze
Piercing the veil, turning from water to wine
Euphoria as we suddenly see through the haze
To the glorious realisation, we are divine in design
