The Change We
Arranged
"All things were
together. Then mind came and arranged them." –Anaxagoras
We strive to
understand our earth
We search high and
low for its meaning
To think that such a
place as this
Could have one simple
feeling
Mountains high and
oceans deep
We have all we could
ever keep
Here below our homes
lies
The ground that keeps
us all alive
And creatures big and
creatures small
Across their home
land all crawl
We are given life and
expected dead
But still we ask for
more
Could there ever be a
more fulfilling life
Than that which earth
affords us with little strife
Yet day after day we
fight for more
Battle after battle,
unceasing gore
We use and abuse
lands we are given
To make us what we
want to live in
We never stop until
wells are dry
Asking more and more of the sky
We changed our earth
and never thought twice
That maybe we should
conserve its life
Our minds did wonders
on our souls
Ourselves we arranged
human’s natural goals
And so we changed the
course of the earth
Determining ourselves
the tale of its birth
When truly what it
wants for us
Is peace and love and
enduring trust
