World turning

World turning and turning

Nature toiling away at its own cycles

Life going on around us

As we fight and destroy

In the name of our own life

Perhaps that name is a god

Or maybe science

Or greed

Or vanity

At the end of the day we all

Are fighting for something

Against each other and nature

We hope to find one to be along side

Although often they are nothing more

Than yet another thing to fight against

We fight and fight and fight

Striving for more

Striving for better

And yet life

Swirls around us

Moving at its own pace

And its own cycles

That will catch us sooner

Or later
