A symbolic poem about things going on in the world.
When no one is left
When everything is gone
When times stands still
Where will we be

The scorpion will relax it’s tail
It will be there when the other is defeated
The marine eyes will watch as it’s opponents fail
Then no further defense will be needed

The scorpion fights with dignity
Defending what it holds
Holding it’s treasure with chivalry
And bearing a heart of gold

The dove flies above watching with pure intentions
The fish comes to the surface and watches with an uplifted soul
It listens to everything the dove has the courtesy to mention
The dove will fill the fish’s spiritual hole

Up from the earth and down from the deep
The creatures of this earth will come together
When it is done the suffering will weep
And the worthy will be victorious forever

The defeated scorpion will devour the archer
Corrupting the archer’s beauty for the sake of love
With it’s tail the scorpion pierces the strongest armor
Yet the scorpion fails to see the beauty of the dove

Now with the soul of an angel
The winning scorpion caresses the gentle eyes
It is strong viewed at every angle
Soon the soul of the lost fish will arise

The demon watches with delight
As the creatures fight amongst themselves
It is willing for a good fight
For itself it is creating Hell

The dove flies over and sees all
A tear falls from it’s miraculous eyes
For the other creatures the dove took a fall
Now they surround themselves with lies

Maybe one day they will live in peace
Come together and create their own heaven
What would happen if the fighting would cease
But for now their souls still blacken

A breeze in my desolate humidity
An island in my barren ocean
Encouragement in my humility
Reinforcement in my positive notion
