History retreats like a dying word
Indistinct and gasping to be heard
Long forgotten names on ancient maps
The present, past, and future overlap
Like soldiers of Victorian romance
The current tyrannies move to advance
To blind our eyes to human empathy
To see the me in you and the you in me
A force of nature raging to be free
The bloody sky above an angry sea
The surface masks the peril down below
An innocent ensnared in the undertow
A victim of the current’s alibi
Reaches to the heavens with a cry
But the hand of God is nowhere to be found
Helplessly, I stand and watch him drown
Peaceful calm
No alarm
This silent world
A data stream of endless terabytes
Relayed over floating satellites
Repeating lies the truth can not refute
The culture of binary absolutes
The sweat and blood of third world factories
Converted into foreign currencies
Where luxury requires a sacrifice
Profit margins built from the marginalized
Peaceful calm No alarm
This silent world Is beautiful
Letting go Melt and flow
Thoughts dissolve Worlds revolve
Gentle stream Languid dream
Endless sleep Fathoms deep
River wide Ocean tide
Open eyes Still alive
The victims of the global politic
Reduced to abstractions and statistics
Prisoners and hungry refugees
Rounded up and cast away to sea
Caught up in the currents far from shore
The doomed are overtaken by the storm
The hand of God is nowhere to be found
Abandon hope, this ship is going down
