LET THERE BE PEACE IN OUR TIME

Peace was always on my mind, I never truly understood the reason why

However, I do understand that we are all driven by our primal instincts

These are the things, buried deep inside our neurological core

It's not the bit that makes us human

It's the bit that links us back to an amoeba

At a time when all our earliest ancestors had to do, was absorb energy from the sun, and spilt in two

We know for sure, that billions of years have passed, since our paternal ancestors were washed upon the shore

We gasped at what we saw, and learnt to breathe

No longer, was it enough to absorb energy and split asunder

So, we began to consume the shore upon which we'd landed

And in time, began to feed on each other

The instinct to survive was born, and programmed into our design

The evolutionary clock runs slowly, and we have only heard a few tics and tocks

And humankind is just a tiny speck of dust, resting upon the clock face, of time

Even though our history may seem long, we are still only children at play

And have much to learn, before we can reset, the evolutionary clock

Our time is running out, let's hope that day comes, before we finally consume each other

It's time we got together, and shared a common thought, 'Let there be Peace in our Time'

Even if we don't, there's one sure thing, that fateful clock will continue its tic and tock without us
