Astonish

Step back and take a look at the world as a whole
Full of nature and beauty in its own entirety
Never mind how the human race has dug its hole
A breach in its own society
It once was a full force of naturalism
Without its corporate and capitalist world
Within religion, the world retaliates into antagonism
Society is faltering on its own newborn legs
Incapable of rising to morals and beliefs
They suffer from greed, selfishness and drown in hate
Every generation's contribution to the world only lessens briefly
Fighting over whether the war's right or wrong, or if being gay is such sin
Would it all matter once one reaches heaven's gates
All the hate and immoralities that one achieved,
Would the day come where we'd all be relieved
Away from the center of manipulations and destruction
Would we ever return to the simplistic world that was once ideal
Escape the reality of success and seduction
We'd circle the world to find what's real
Then somehow the world will eventually heal
Spirituality replaces religious traits
Is this what have become of our fate
Between what's right and what's wrong,
Does it matter to where it ends down to the line
The world's not ours to take
We're left to grasp our reality and intertwine
Force ourselves to wake
See the world
See the world for what its become and what it once was
Our fate is what we make
We are who we made ourselves
We've only got to submit
To reality we've succumbed,
The only true sacrifice was our soul
