Weigh The World (Original)steemCreated with Sketch.

in #story8 years ago

How can we see the world when our eyes are closed?
How can we know it was ever really there?

Can we weigh the world with weakening arms?
Can a majority enforce morals?

Where did we find the path to this place?
Where can we find the next train leaving?

We're bound to contracts never signed.
We're playing old roles, newly cast.

From here it looks like they took.
From there it looks like success.

Determine mediums
Determine strength of mind.

If we can wake up
If we learn to heal

We change this
We can change us.

Live for you
Live for me.

How can where we're from determine if we live, when we weigh the world?
