"On My Watch"

Again it happens, history returns a cycle
Old events wears new attire
Man´s worst ingenuity on the move
As active disguise transforms guilt to fun.

Dust to dust and ashes to ashes
Woe to the man in the middle
Efforts wane and eyes deaden
But hope revived by the voice of Thunder.

Vexed nature in cosmic revolt
Multiple excuses for erratic evolution
Happy or sad, great Darwin, his work overdone
Yet to explain the return of time.

On my watch I have seen
Postures assumed based on artificial realities
Realities portraying another reality
Angry nature in quest of clarity
Versus man in consistent state of denial.
