Brotherhood?

Anacrusis


For all of our wandering, 
We've still so far to go 
For all of our questioning, 
We've still the need to know... 

Are we still the frightened child? 
Are we still the angered youth? 
Or are we old before our time? 
Are we getting any closer to the truth? 

We're force-fed reasoning 
Yet, still can make no sense 
The mind misses the point 
Blind in its arrogance 
Should we build a "better way"? 
With whatever we can find? 
If, in turn, it means we lose ourselves? 
Should we force a common mind? 

We're weaned on empathy 
To satisfy our doubt 
While attempts at unity 
Have scattered us about 
Should we invent a "common bond"? 
Through means misunderstood? 
Or are we simply widening the gaps? 
Should we force a brotherhood?
