I wasn't present at the time when this skirmish took place, but just this morning the idea of balance or lack of it in the world came to mind and the funny thing is.....I had actually sat down down to write about a challenge activity theme from the site and this wonderful skirmish theme was channeling me instead when the pen hit the paper.
Thank you @scubed for hosting and inspiring me with your balance theme.
Cheers!
Any music takers out there, I'm open as always to collaborating. Could picture this fast or slow in a number of genres.
No Balance
Where are we going?
What can we do?
In a world defined
By connection, it's true
But, the energy is bursting
Out at the seams
And figures take their anvils
To get their means
There's no balance
In the world you see
Millions of voices
Don't feel free
And the vacuum is endless
It can pull you right in
Till you lose yourself
In the place you've been
Divorced from spirits
Living on edge
Where God is green
Mouthing off on a ledge
Dissconected from relations
There ain't much love
And the screen tells the story
There ain't no dove
There's no balance
In the world you see
Millions of voices
Don't feel free
And the vacuum is endless
It can pull you right in
Till you lose yourself
In the place you've been
Extremes on the rise
Common sense dead
Us verses them
On the long road ahead
Got illusions on the surface
Breaking us down
Oh can anybody turn
This ship around
There's no balance
In the world you see
Millions of voices
Don't feel free
And the vacuum is endless
It can pull you right in
Till you lose yourself
In the place you've been
