“Cliffhanger”

The world feels like it’s turning,
or is this just how it always is?
Billions of voices yearning
for however being empowered feels.
The infernos won’t stop burning
until we learn to face our fears,
but if fear quashes all learning
we’re just swirling into the pit.

How do we save each other
when we can’t seem to save ourselves?

We’re edging closer to the drop,
oblivion reflected in the abyss.
But society always seems poised to pop
until we kill off a few more years.
So is patience the enlightened call?
Do we knuckle down and progress?
Because we may just let go and fall,
tumbling into nothingness.

Ignorance welcomes violence
feeding the mongers’ hatred.
Are we standing on the precipice
or do we just fear our own existence?

How do we save each other
when we can’t seem to save ourselves?
