If you knew the future of all living humans Their happiness and sadness Their hurts and pains Their failures and successes From day to day Until they join the ghost union What will you do?

You hide in darkness With sharp eyes you fail to use And blame the world And curse your stars When many arms have rooms for you You try rebellion And close your ears When many are singing songs of joy You have the heart but fail to yield Cussing the world when someone’s is […]
