    We,as humans all cry tears,
    The same we share our hates and fears,
    Tears of love and tears of pain,
    Tears for whats found and lost again.

    We fight to live,
    Curse others to die,
    We fight over whats beyond the sky

    Is it God or is it space?
    Or maybe a saccharine happy place?
    Maybe we are all just fools,
    Over looking lifes precious jewels

    What the FUCK are we here for?
    Why do we live?
    Is it to take?
    Or is it to give?

    Are we awake?
    Or in perpetual sleep?
    Are our minds shallow or are they deep?

    Is this all there is to life?
    The joy and bliss!
    The pain and strife?

    Whatever we are,were all the same
    And if Earth dies its us to blame.
    Are we crazy or just unsane?

    We will all lose what we hold dear,
    Humans collapse under hate and fear,
    And above us,God sheds a single tear.


    And from that tear a new world was born
    And new humans came to be thus formed
    Without the division of gods or skin
    A new race shining from within
    A race that knew the concept of love
    And with new strength they rose above
    Old humanitys hate and fear
    And with each and every passing year
    New lives began,new stories were wrote
    And ever grew the seeds of hope
    The love that bound them was ever strong
    And its to that love I write this psalm

    I for one choose not to wait
    For us to be crushed under historys weight
    I choose to love right now,today!
    And to forgot the lines of humanitys play
    I will strive never to hate
    To escape the darkness of our fate
    I will proclaim to all who hear
    The time for change is already here
    Time to drop our guns and pride
    And on wings of compassion we will fly
    To heights the likes have never been seen
    Restore mother earth to a radiant green
    We will become angels like we used to be
    Before we discovered money and greed
    The future looms,the past is gone
    And we must voice a unified song
    We have to keep chasing hope and love
    Till we become one with God above.

    written during a night of depression/anger at the state of world existence

    wowser. very powerful stuff orbital_forest! I like the title psalm 2005...it sort of presets the content i think, or suggests anyway...'saccharine happy place' that's a great phrase

    Wow! I've had those nights (and days) of anger at the world, I've not yet ventured to putting them into words. I usually end up with a page of "FUCK!" written all over it!

    Great work.

    I like the way it thrives towards the end. As if you've found some sense or answer in the madness that came to you whilst writing?
