Ourselves

Gather around everyone
Like all nine planets
Around the sun
Come
Come
Yes, and the little ones
All need to hear
All are welcomed
Both far and near
We are together
In this life
On this planet
As one
One aspect of the Great Central Sun
Whether we be man
Or mouse
Whether be woman
Or rainbow trout
All is always one
Each heart beating different
Than the next one
But together in rhythm
Conducting by the waves of the sun
We have won
Defeated ourselves
No longer created our own hells
And dismal prison cells
Cleaned up the toxic well
Made sure the water was clean for all who dwell
Decided that no longer all we needed to do was sell
Or be chosen
And hear wedding bells
In the mirror
We saw our own reflection
Wondered why we cared so much about complexion
Looked more
And gazed into introspection
The choice was ours
And we chose to rise
Put all these petty things aside
So on Earth is where Heaven shall reside
And we will live in the Lord’s Paradise
