A silent breeze wrapped fast the Earth


Before Stonehenge kept watch the sun
Before the pyramids entombed kings
Before language graced mans' lips
Before Adam dropped to his knees
A silent breeze wrapped fast the Earth
A whisper, secret from mans' thought
A message born in every man
"A battle here is to be fought."
Creation made for self destruction
Creation made to kill
Creation where the fit survive
Creation bent to will
Where do we sit
Now we are so many
The same message breathes
But yet there is plenty
Turn to your neighbor
Back bent in labor
And give him a hand
The battle is later...
