The Unearthly Calm

I see the faraway shore
Beckoning me to something more
And I understand 
That nothing good can be planned
As we grow up 
Like a tree
It's not up and over
But organically
And there's enough food
To feed each child
Enough land 
To let the animals roam wild
And did we build this monstrosity
That is growling in my face
I have to speak up 
For the human race
Coz we're going down
And if we don't shift
The present moment 
Won't be a gift
But an encumbrance
That we bear
I feel the fabric
Start to tear
As the seam
Is pulled to the edge
Don't let the money
Go to your head
As you earn and as we burn
The stifling and the axis turn
That leads us down a narrow path
Makes me wonder what we might be at
To poach the seas til they run dry
To pour the concrete til the soil die
And I've got this hefty weight to carry
Will I bear children and marry
But all I hear are the cries of the damned
And all the innocents no one understands
So if I've a prayer
It's help me, God
Live with Love 
And not the rod
That snaps down on a soft palm
They say that there's an unearthly calm
Before the tidal wave
So take the noise as a sign to save
While we still have time
What is your path
Coz I know mine
