A raven’s wings may glide in the wind
A snapping turtle’s beak may hurt when it bites you
A mother’s emotionally charged words may hurt her child
And an ocean’s water may feel crushing when it captures youth
Life has a way of making living numb
Death has a way of consuming what was once new
Gods’ have ways to empower what little humans can do
And science has ways to define what we know we must not choose
Winds can change the tide of a sailor’s fate
You can change when you don’t want to
Children can change their dreams before adults do
Youth can change how governments think things through
Numbness can sooth a broken heart and mind
New can deteriorate until it’s weathered and used
Doing without thinking things through can bring more harm than good
Choosing what we know can limit us and leave us more confused
No matter what starts a sentence
The ending will begin again
A complete loop that few break free from
A love-hate cycle that humans subscribe to
