Power Down the Heart

I've seen so many things

Babies taking their first breath

Children laughing

Crying

Their innocence

I've seen the changes

The transformations

The shape-shifting

I've seen it all

Watching

Looking inside

I've seen mothers

Fathers

Learning

Challenging

Alone

Alone in fear

Alone

Alone

Alone

Alone

Alone

Alone

I've seen so much

The failures

The demise

I have witnessed the trials

The tribulations

Alone

Alone

Alone

Alone

I have seen

Been a witness of empires crumbling

I've seen financial institutions crumble

Laws crumble

Humanity crumble

Alone
