Seek Peace
I am Time.
Out of rhyme and grime,
I create all of space.
With evolution, I mold the human face.
From atoms to star dust,
I saw life's yearning lust
To breath amongst planetary rocks;
Plankton leads to Hawks.
Now humans suffer in nature's sneer
And in the blood bath of fear.
So onto them I gave them a god.
A few to Egypt, to Greece a squad.
There's one from the Middle East
That inspires man to be a minister or a priest.
In the creation of their gods, I sought
To bring comfort to those fraught
With pain and death.
Still, they can't see past the last breath.
For I am Time,
I seek peace for my creation.
